I have been in search of a good GUI library for go that works well on both Linux and Windows.

What are your thoughts on Wails?

How is the learning curve for people not very familiar with Web technologies? On that subject, does it require any webdev tools to be installed (nodejs, frameworks, etc)?

I found Wails very simple to use, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight GUI library.

However, Wails v1 uses mshtml (basically ie11) on Windows, so some features are unavailable.

Wails uses Webpack so you need npm installed when developing your app.

You might also be interested in Tauri [1] which is a similar framework but in Rust.
