Glaze lets Go devs build desktop WebView apps without CGo

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Glaze is a new Go toolkit that opens native desktop windows using the OS's built-in WebView, without requiring CGo or external libraries. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows through WKWebView, WebKitGTK, and WebView2 respectively. The project aims to keep small Go desktop tools simple by avoiding heavy frameworks or build dependencies.

Meridian48 take
Glaze fills a niche for Go developers who want lightweight desktop UIs without the overhead of Electron or CGo, but its limited feature set means it's best for simple tools, not complex apps.
