# Wails

Project generator

Go desktop framework and CLI for applications with a web frontend and native system integration.

## Why we recommend it

Wails is a useful foundation when your team wants Go to own local application logic and a familiar web stack to render the interface. Generated bindings connect frontend code to Go methods, letting you build a desktop client around existing Go capabilities.

## When to choose it

- Desktop business utilities with substantial Go logic or local integrations.
- Teams that prefer a native WebView and a Go backend for their desktop product.

## What to consider

- The repository is framework and CLI source, not a generated application. Initialize your app separately; the checked documentation distinguishes stable v2 from beta v3.
- System WebView requirements and behavior differ by operating system. Signing, installer delivery and safe exposure of Go methods still need design.

## Start with this project

Install Go, the frontend toolchain and the operating-system prerequisites documented for the chosen Wails version. Select stable v2 or explicitly evaluate v3 beta, install that CLI, then initialize an app in a separate directory. Review generated bindings and run platform builds.
