We recently did evaluation of different ways of building a cross-plarform desktop app as a Go team. We have built a PoC with Wails and Fyne, and we love Fyne. After a week from making a decision to go with Fyne, we are now 90% done and already running first alpha tests with users (who also love the simplicity of it). Devs like the ease of development and a ton of dependencies we don’t need to worry about, since Fyne is a lot leaner than Wails.

Just my 2 cents ;)

„What you can do, or dream you can, begin it, Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it, Only engage, and then the mind grows heated— Begin it, and the work will be completed!” - Goethe, Faust. Stuck in my head for over 20 years now.

IoT/Linux fleet management agent written in Go with minimalistic dependencies going open-source.

Fantastic! Looking forward to it :)

I wish this would be open source and/or available on Linux. Looks like a very useful toolbox!

I was part of a successful rewrite of a legacy enterprise SaaS from Groovy to Golang (moved from manually managed EC2 instances to Google Cloud AppEngine standard). The project took couple of months and began with writing an extensive test suite using Karate. Due to complexity of the software, I can’t see it succeeding without those tests. Also, plenty of benefits of having an extensive test suite going forward. Another reason for success IMO was good project planning with milestones and tight time limit, so the engineering didn’t overdo it, but made it “good enough” in the provide time frame.
