Oh that is strange, I didn't realise it was different for internal vs external! I fixed my visibility but one of the team is marked as private for their own reasons.

Basically the project came from the Fyne community because we can build all GUI apps so fast now that it was a shame not to have a desktop environment with the same benefit :).

So to summarize - Fyne is a (? cross-platform ?) library for GUI apps, and you believe it's more productive than existing libraries, so you wanted a native window manager because ... exactly why? what exactly is the savings or advantage?

Because I tried working on existing ones and it was painful.

I wanted a modern alternative to exist that was approachable and fun. And once we have met existing systems we can start to exceed them ;).
