mkcert
A simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates with any names you'd like.
Project mention: Looking for some advice on SSL usage with express redis and postgres inside Docker | reddit.com/r/node | 2023-02-01yes - I do my development in a dockerized environment. On a side note, I use docker to create a private network between my services (db, redis, auth, api, nginx, etc) so I don't need to encrypt intra-service communication, only my public interfaces need https. It simplifies everything. Another dev tip, check out mkcert to solve all kinds local development cert issues.

qt
Qt binding for Go (Golang) with support for Windows / macOS / Linux / FreeBSD / Android / iOS / Sailfish OS / Raspberry Pi / AsteroidOS / Ubuntu Touch / JavaScript / WebAssembly
Could try looking at wails. I don’t really ever do any GUI programming, especially in Go. But it and Fyne are probably gonna be your best, easiest route. Though, I do know there are also bindings for Qt

For one of my projects [1] I got about ten in-person questions/discussions equivalent to "Why don't you use Rust?" at various conferences/meetups over three years.
The enthusiasm of the person asking the question was evident.
What was trickier to handle was their insistence that "X would be better if written in Rust" without really understanding what makes X successful.
This was further compounded a bunch of copycat projects written in Rust with very limited functionality. Their project's marketing said that "it's written in Rust!" was their primary advantage.
Fundamentally, users don't care, or even know, which language your software is written in. All they care about is whether your software solves their problem.
To answer your direct question: I got multiple "you should use Rust!" comments. I smiled, said thank you I know that Rust is the right choice for certain problems. I then asked "How would Rust help here?" and listened.
When Rust is the right language for the problem, I'll re-write. Until then, I'll be polite and listen.

Fyne is just really ugly for me.. I'm trying to learn more about GIO lately (gioui.org) which seems to have a great potential. However you request is very simple: native Windows Gui. And there are few libraries for that: - https://github.com/gonutz/wui - https://github.com/lxn/walk - https://github.com/tadvi/winc - https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo

scc
Sloc, Cloc and Code: scc is a very fast accurate code counter with complexity calculations and COCOMO estimates written in pure Go
Project mention: Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition) | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-12-20Going to say my own https://github.com/boyter/scc/ which I have used to turn down projects of "Oh we just need to do X"
It allows me to evaluate the code-base quickly and see where potential issues are, and find hidden complexity in the code. I have said no a lot due to it. The only reason it exists was because I got caught out from another project, which wasted months of my time.
Otherwise IntelliJ and the JetBrains IDE's in general.
