why not just golang+http in one binary as backend and browser for the GUI frontend, that seems can solve all the GUI problems.
of course you will need a modern browser, which is everywhere these days.

- ausjke 6y agoaware of that and yes that's an interesting project
- saagarjha 6y agoIt doesn't solve the GUI problems of the web in general.
- ausjke 6y agowhat is it missing then? more specifically, what can't be done this way comparing to electron ,or Qt5 style GUI. yes for corner cases Qt/Electron has their place, but I feel 95% GUI these days can be done with Browser + Backend, which is what Electron is doing basically(chromium+nodejs), I just don't want to run browser and electron in parallel, both are memory hungry, so why not just directly browser+backend(in C,golang,nodejs,or whatever)
