Comment on Ask HN: Best stack for building a desktop app?

Comments

I have good experience with https://wails.io. It uses a Go backend and a JavaScript frontend with Go functions exposed to the JavaScript side, and events with senders and listeners on both sides. All without the enormous bloat of Electron.

On the JavaScript side you can use whatever you like: plain JavaScript, react, vue, svelte, … whatever you’re familiar with.

And it can cross compile to Windows, Mac and Linux, so all major platforms covered.

How is the Wails project being managed?

Does it have a backing company or enough sponsors to ensure its future?
