Show HN: Proton – A pure Go GUI library with zero CGO dependencies

I built Proton because I wanted to write native desktop utilities in Go without the massive memory overhead of webviews (like Wails) and without the absolute nightmare of cross-compiling graphics bindings with CGO enabled. It uses an immediate-mode API layout built on top of Gio. Would love to get some feedback on the API layout

At the moment it looks like skinny go ui wrapper.
