Wails is a fantastic solution for an undocumented use case

[riziles]

In the README file, the target audience is described as:

Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.

That definitely does not describe me, but I found Go to be very useful for this situation:

• I'm not great at web development, but I know enough to build a simple UI
• I need a GUI for some processes that hit network resources that I already have access to, but trying to deploy a web app (even for internal use only) is a bit of a nightmare that needs months of review from InfoSec
• Wails allows me to easily run a light (or heavy) web app from my desktop without having to serve it to anyone other than me

FYI, I tried to do this with both Tauri and .NET WinForms, and couldn't even get off the ground. Not too hard with Python, but there a gajillion very heavy dependencies. A bundled app would be > 0.5 GB.

I have almost no experience with Go, but found it very easy to get up and running quickly here. This project is great!
