  • Buffalo

    Discontinued Rapid Web Development w/ Go

  • https://gobuffalo.io/ - pretty non-idiomatic (to community standards), but pretty stable and useful if you already know Rails or Django.

  • bud

    The Full-Stack Web Framework for Go

  • https://github.com/livebud/bud - similar idea, but uses Svelte (a JS framework) to do the front end stuff. It’s smart enough to render the JS stuff on the server when possible, so you end up with the best of both worlds.

  • shortener

  • I'm writing a series of posts that chronicles me writing a url shortener in go as a web app. You can take a look at the current code here: https://github.com/avalonbits/shortener
