Fyne is awesome, I’m building all my GUI projects only with fyne. Andrew Is really very helpful in slack.
Yess, Andrew Williams is very active and take time to help people on Slack :-).
The whole community is excellent! I think in the summer fewer of the core team are around, but the rest of the year people are available to help in Slack or Discord at all hours.
Very neat artcile - looks awesome at first. Probably trying this framework out soon.
Are there productive apps built with Fyne already out there?
As well as the app listings there is also a full desktop built using Fyne which is a pretty good demo :).
fyne.io/fynedesk/
Oh Andrew, you are here? ^^
Yes of course, the fynedesk demo is a way to see the Fyne possibilities :-).
Thanks David.
Productive, I don't know, but you can find existing apps done with Fyne here: apps.fyne.io/
Was about to complain that the stargate was missing earth, but it's right there at the top, just a bit... bent xD
:-D
Yes don't worry, Gopher can come home ^^
Since this article was written, a new pure-Go option has emerged that's worth a close look: the gogpu ecosystem. It delivers a fully GPU-accelerated desktop GUI toolkit with zero CGO — everything from rendering to widget logic is pure Go. The architecture is powered by its own WebGPU implementation, a Skia-class 2D graphics engine, and a shader compiler, making it both performant and self-contained. The widget library includes 22+ components, supports four design systems out of the box (Material 3, Fluent, Cupertino, and DevTools), and uses a modern reactive signal-based state model. For anyone wanting a high-performance, cross-platform desktop app that stays entirely within the Go language, gogpu is a genuine turning point.
Loved the whole series. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment! :-) :-)
I'm currently learning Go and I have a side-project where I need to create an API, a mobile App and a discord bot ... and your articles are exactly what I needed ! Many thanks !

Any help appreciated
Hi,
I haven't tested on a Windows OS yet.
Have you tried to contact Fyne team members on their slack? :)
Oh neat! Curious how fyne performs (cpu, ram, etc) compared to electron and similar web based desktop apps 🤔.
I didn't have compared Fyne with electron, but maybe @andydotxyz already done a benchmark? :-)
I have never done a comparison with web tech - it didn't feel fair as native and web are designed to solve different problems.
A while ago I did start a performance comparison, at github.com/fyne-io/fyne/wiki/Perfo..., I will see if I can add electron and react native to round out the table.
In general a Fyne app may be a little larger (around 7MB or 4MB compressed) because it contains the Go interpreter, but it should run faster with much less RAM required.
Thanks for the info this is good to know :)
Love the stargate references!
Ah ah, I love mixing Gophers and movies or TV show; happy you like Stargate reference :-)
Thanks for a great resource, covers just about everything
Thanks @nigel447 :-)
Will definitely try this out, great tutorial. Just one question, does it produce a single executable on windows or do we need to provide some dll files?
