The code looks nice, but when I read GUI, I want to see screenshots of GUIs.<p>Apparently a major dependency is "Fyne", which does show some screenshots on their page:<p><a href="https://fyne.io/" rel="nofollow">https://fyne.io/</a>

I'll be watching this project.<p>Looking forward to a Golang declarative framework.<p>My advice to the author: invest in rich multi-window support early on. It's easy not to, but you always need it in the end, and it's painful to retrofit.<p>I feel like there's a great cross-platform UI story to be told with Go, since cross compiling is so easy.

Very excited every time I see cross-platform GUI in go.<p>I think the right mental model is that Gova is to Fyne like DaisyUI is to TailwindCSS??

I once built a small utility using the "Fyne" framework; it was reasonably functional and made it very convenient to compile cross-platform executables (including for Android).<p>I took a look at your recommendation, "gova"; it seems to be just getting started—keep up the good work!

Looks quite nice, alternatives to Tauri always welcome although that Tauri is truly fantastic, so much to emulate.

That's a beautifully designed library, bravo! Will have to give it a go

This wraps Fyne? As a long time user of Fyne, what does this provide beyond Fyne itself?
