  • gotk3

    Go bindings for GTK3

  • I'm trying to use gotk3 (https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3). The first issue I got was with pkg-config not being in the PATH environment variable. Cool, I fixed that. Now, I get errors about gio, glib, and gobject not being found in the pkg-config search path.

  • gio

    Mirror of the Gio main repository (https://git.sr.ht/~eliasnaur/gio)

  • If you want to consider other GUI libraries then I would take a closer look at GIOUI (https://gioui.org/) and Fyne (https://fyne.io/). I haven't used fyne myself yet, but I played around with gioui and both of them should be relatively easy to use with Go on Windows.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • fyne

    Cross platform GUI toolkit in Go inspired by Material Design

  • If you want to consider other GUI libraries then I would take a closer look at GIOUI (https://gioui.org/) and Fyne (https://fyne.io/). I haven't used fyne myself yet, but I played around with gioui and both of them should be relatively easy to use with Go on Windows.

  • windigo

    Windows API and GUI in idiomatic Go.

  • If you want to target just Windows, Windigo may be of your interest. No CGo and zero dependencies. It just works.
