I've heard some good things about Fyne: https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne Doesn't do native-looking software, but the APIs don't

I’ve used it twice, both times regretted and rewrote in Wails (that is, back to a web view for UI). Problems not limited to: - (Last I checked, which is <1yr ago) Text rendering is fundamentally done wrong, it can’t access any system font, can only use the built-in font, or exactly one custom font you bundle. Good luck supporting any user-generated or web content from people who don’t use the Latin script. - Very limited selection of widgets, a problem common to all but a few native frameworks. - Very limited styling options for the small selection of widgets. - Looks terrible. Okay for personal/internal stuff, definitely don’t want to ship to end users. (Obviously subjective.)

  I need to look into Wails, thanks for the tip. My use-cases would be perfect for a TUI, but I need to be able to display pictures and videos, so I'm stuck with a GUI :) Tried to do a web ui + local backend setup, but that didn't go too well.

    You can display videos and pictures in the terminal... mpv --no-config --vo=tct /my/video.mp4

      If you want to play videos at 32p… High resolution images on the other hand is supported natively in many terminals (sixel protocol, iTerm 2 protocol, etc.).
