Interesting. I’m a little surprised they went with Electron instead of a Go portable GUI toolkit like Fyne or something. Electron is a safe choice, but it seems odd to take such a big dependency when you’re doing stuff like reimplementing Git

We forked Quiqr from Hokus CMS which is build with Electron. After we reach 1.0, we might do a plan a rewrite to another cross platform framework. A Go framework would be a logical choice.

Why? I only see a tiny note on this in the About page. What motivated the fork and how different are the two from each other?

As a guess, the last commit to hokus is 3 years ago.

The fork took place years ago. HokusCMS is not actively maintained.

Quiqr since added:

- embedded git client for cloning and publishing

- many more CMS field types

- importing Hugo themes

- importing Quiqr site templates

- and much more...
