Go UI framework Active 2026
godom
A Go framework for local apps where the Go process owns the DOM and the browser is just a screen. No Electron, no complex JS frontend, no API layer; go build gives you one binary that opens a tab.

Nirman
A flexible Node.js static site generator I built when existing tools felt too rigid and too tied to someone else's content model.

How to use godom
May 11, 2026
Building a small godom app in three stages: a counter, two islands on one page, then a multi-page layout with a shared-state dashboard.
The thin bridge: keeping bridge.js dumb on purpose
May 9, 2026
godom's bridge.js builds DOM, applies patches, and forwards events. It does not evaluate expressions, hold state, or make decisions. The constraint is the feature.
Breakout, with my phone as the paddle
May 8, 2026
A breakout game built on godom: laptop renders the game, phone is the paddle controller via gyroscope, both connected to the same Go process.
A video player that decodes frames in Go
May 7, 2026
Go shells out to ffmpeg, decodes a video into JPEG frames, sends them to a browser canvas. No HTML video tag, no streaming, no codecs in the browser.
When to write plain JS in godom (and when not to)
May 6, 2026
godom doesn't ban JavaScript; it pushes it to the edges where it actually pays for itself. Three tiers, one rule, and the trap to avoid.
A 3D solar system in Go, drawn with Canvas 2D
May 5, 2026
I wrote a 3D engine in Go and let the browser draw 2D circles. No three.js, no WebGL, no JS math libraries. Just a list of 2D draw commands per frame.
How godom composes: islands, partials, and shared state
May 4, 2026
godom's composition model: stateful islands, stateless partials, slot-based content, and the shared-pointer trick for state across islands.
I put Claude Code in a browser terminal I built in Go
May 3, 2026
I built a browser-based terminal in Go using godom and xterm.js. Then I ran Claude Code inside it. It just worked.
godom's wire protocol: binary patches over WebSocket
May 2, 2026
godom uses binary Protocol Buffers, not JSON, with a deliberate Browser→Go split between input value sync and explicit method calls.
How godom's virtual DOM works
Apr 30, 2026
How godom builds a virtual DOM tree in Go, diffs it against the previous tree, and ships only the patches the browser needs to apply.
Why I built godom
Apr 29, 2026
I kept needing a UI for local Go tools and hating every option. So I built a framework where Go owns the DOM and the browser is just a screen.
How to Add Textures to a 3D Game in JavaScript
Sep 18, 2023
Adding textures to a 3D game in JavaScript - load grass, wood, and a sky HDRI with Three.js, handle tiling and sRGB, and cross the 'looks real' line.
