That's what I meant as well. You have a go daemon/service running that does the heavy lifting; and your front end (whatever it may be) knows how to talk to it. The UI elements remain separated from the work of the daemon.
The browser-based/localhost approach works well for this too, but you can also take the same approach for rich/native client apps without having to make the daemon platform-specific.

This is what I was referring to - nothing new, but IMO worth mentioning in the context of setting up a new service to run on someone's system.
