This is a part of cross-platform GUI Library for Go. See https://github.com/codeation/impress
The WebAssembly terminal is a tool for using the browser as a GUI canvas.
Reasons to have a browser version for a GUI app:
- Access from anywhere to view some of the data created on the desktop.
- Demonstration of desktop GUI application.
- Periodically launched application with a graphical interface without installation on computer.

package main import ( "image" "image/color" "github.com/codeation/impress" "github.com/codeation/impress/event" _ "github.com/codeation/impress/canvas" ) func main() { app := impress.NewApplication(image.Rect(0, 0, 640, 480), "Hello World Application") defer app.Close() font := impress.NewFont(15, map[string]string{"family": "Verdana"}) defer font.Close() w := app.NewWindow(image.Rect(0, 0, 640, 480), color.RGBA{240, 240, 240, 0}) defer w.Drop() w.Text("Hello, world!", font, image.Pt(280, 210), color.RGBA{0, 0, 0, 0}) w.Line(image.Pt(270, 230), image.Pt(380, 230), color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 0}) w.Show() app.Sync() for { action := <-app.Chan() if action == event.DestroyEvent || action == event.KeyExit { break } } } To run :
git clone https://github.com/codeation/canvas.git cd canvas cp "$(go env GOROOT)/misc/wasm/wasm_exec.js" . GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o main.wasm ./cmd/ go run ./examples/wasm To see results, open http://localhost:8080/ in you browser. Please, try with Brave or Chrome browser.
- The performance of the browser will not be enough for the regular use.
- This project is still in the early stages of development and is not yet in a usable state.
- The project tested on Debian 11.7 with Brave browser (Version 1.51.114 Chromium: 113.0.5672.92).
