A Go desktop UI framework that draws through native window and GPU APIs (Cocoa/Metal, Win32/Direct3D 11, XCB/Vulkan) with no WebView.

Why you might care

For Go developers building small native desktop apps without Electron-style WebViews or bundled runtimes. It targets small binaries, low idle resource use, and direct access to platform APIs, and ships a CLI for build, packaging, and live reload.
