MOST Popular Go Frontend Framework: Fyne (and why you shouldn't use it!)

Рет қаралды 34,596

Күн бұрын

One of the many questions I received from my previous videos, in regards to Golang, was frontend applications.
Frontend development can be a pain, especially if you are backend developer. However, in today's video I will be talking about fyne. Fyne is the most popular Golang frontend framework. The idea of this framework is to make it very easy for backend developers to build applications without having to learn frontend skills. Having used fyne quite a bit I will also explain why I think that it may not be the best idea in using it.
Enjoy!

I really like that there is something like Fyne for Go and built some handy little programs in it already but I agree that there needs to be a bit more pre-built stuff(preferably some better looking components as well, take the amazing looking Streamlit Python library for example). I do think they're setting a standard here for future Go coders(after some more iterations and more components), especially the focus on cross platform usage is a great strength.

I built a full UI for a backend program with fyne, I found it pretty easy to use. There are some quirks that you just have to learn the hard way, but once you play with it enough and thus understand it it's quite fast to add features. I agree that there are not enough examples and the docs are too light

Starting to learn GO. But what are your thoughts on using CoPilot to speed up the learning process. I started coding a very long time ago ,the Atari ST520 was my first computer and wish I had CoPilot back then (and the internet would have been useful too ). All there was to learn from was any books I could find and a monthly magazine.

obviousky it wouldn't be as fast as c++ , but how does it stack up against java or electron

@Chris_t0 Жыл бұрын

Its slow and laggy as shit, like its optimized incredibly poorly nothing to do with it being in golang. Its pretty damn bad but not much choice for gui in golang

I tried Fyne once. The interface is anything but native looking. Also the save and open dialogs are very underpowered and not so easy to use.

you should check out charm/bubbletea! i'm curious about your opinions and experiences with a frontend TUI framework edit: i also thought of wails frontend framework as well, which is thought of to be the alternative to electron but for go. it'd be interesting for you to cover wails or bubbletea in the future someday, wouls be excited to see it~

This is pretty misleading as you're building a native application, not a website. Generally, frontend development is the development of the graphical user interface of a website.

Fyne is ridiculously bad. Like holy crap, never again will I trust google search results or "most github commit gui project for golang". Been using it for a year and it is the most hacky piece of shit I have ever used, I feel like I'm creating Microsoft Excel with python, components are absolutely terrible, heres one thing I found that even the devs had no idea about and asked me to submit a bug report (which i didn't because if this got through, I'm not wasting my time) If you create a multiline text box and paste 2000 lines, it will crash your entire program. Yes nobody knew this in the dev team.... Its been out for years now...

For the record I am still using fyne but only because I am not aware of a stable competitor without huge dependencies. Just be very weary in choosing golang if you plan to have a GUI because it may seriously not be worth it
