declarative GUI framework

[devout willow]

Hey folks, built a thing called gova on top of fyne. It's a declarative layer with a SwiftUI-style API: struct components, reactive state keyed by call site, modifier chains. Fyne does all the actual rendering—gova just sits on top of it.

Quick counter example:

type Counter struct{}

func (Counter) Body(s *g.Scope) g.View {
    count := g.State(s, 0)
    return g.VStack(
        g.Text(count.Format("Count: %d")).Font(g.Title),
        g.Button("+", func() { count.Set(count.Get() + 1) }),
    ).Padding(g.SpaceLG)
}

Would really value honest feedback from people who actually use Fyne, especially whether the API shape feels natural.

i absolutely love the documentation. did you use Zed's docs as one source of your inspiration?

i'd recommend adding one or many images showcasing possibilities with your framework (on the github readme or/and docs)

Hey, I used Fumadocs for the documentation. I’ll add images too. thanks!

@woven plinth, let me know what you think about the framework APIs and structure, if you get a chance to try them out
