   Simple HTTP, REST, and SSE client library for Go

   

   Project mention: Retrying HTTP Requests in Go Without Making It Worse | dev.to | 2026-05-26

   Here's the uncomfortable turn. For real work, reach for a library. go-retryablehttp buffers bodies, respects Retry-After, does exponential backoff with jitter, and is wired into Terraform and Vault, so it has survived far more abuse than anything you or I will write this week. If you want a full HTTP client with a chainable API and JSON handling on top, resty has retries built in.

    Project mention: 👨🏻‍💻 Developing my own VCS | dev.to | 2026-03-14

    Git is a titan. As I mentioned earlier, I never intended to replace it, but I wanted to create a VCS that stands out in its own way. I have many ambitious plans to introduce unique features, but the first step was enhancing the user experience by developing an elegant UI. To achieve this, I used pterm, a Go library for building visually appealing terminal interfaces. The UI is structured with reusable components, making it both modular and maintainable.

    Project mention: Go Feature Flag the open source solution, is now multi-tenant | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-22

    GO Feature Flag is a fully opensource feature flag solution written in GO and working really well with OpenFeature.

    GOFF allows you to manage your feature flag directly in a file you put wherever you want (GitHub, S3, ConfigMaps …), no UI, it is a tool for developers close to your actual ecosystem.

    Latest version of GOFF has introduced the concept of flag sets, where you can group feature flags by teams, it means that you can now be multi-tenant.

    I’ll be happy to have feedbacks about flag sets or about GO Feature Flag in general.
