**Desktop apps in Go, with native UI or a web frontend.**

Each MyGo window shows one of two kinds of interface, and one app, or one
window, can mix them:
- **A web page**, in the webview the OS already has: WKWebView on macOS,
 WebKitGTK on Linux, WebView2 on Windows. Build the frontend with any web
 tools; it calls your Go code through a TypeScript client generated from it.
- **Native UI**, written in Go alone with package `ui` and
 drawn by MyGo itself on the GPU: no HTML, no JavaScript and no webview, so
 the window opens at once and takes little memory.
Either way, an app is a single Go binary of a few megabytes, focused on low
memory and CPU use.
- **Pure Go, no cgo**: build for every platform from any machine.
- **Typed IPC** for pages: bind Go services, stream values through channels
 and send typed events; the TypeScript client is generated from your Go
 code.
- **A Go UI toolkit** for native UI: flexbox and grid layout, widgets, text
 editing with input methods, virtualized lists, SVG icons, animations,
 screen reader support, and views you test without a window; Liquid Glass
 on every platform with the glass plugin; web pages inside native UI, under
 the menus and dialogs it shows over them.
- **Desktop APIs** for both: windows, menus, tray, dialogs, notifications,
 global shortcuts, deep links, file associations, recent documents, the
 system accent color and accessibility settings, watching files, and more.
- **Ready to ship**: app bundles and disk images, Windows installers, Debian
 packages and a Linux install script, code signing, notarization, and signed
 auto-updates with delta updates and an update window in the manner of
 Sparkle.

## Getting started
With Go 1.27+ and Bun, create an app
with a web frontend:

An app of native UI needs Go alone:
