Go: Fyne and Collaborative App Builder

My first thoughts after spending 30 minutes in the Fyne App Designer: It’s crap and I’ll look at it again in a month or two. Some of that is me just being green with Fyne but it’s just not very intuitive, IMO.

Other first impressions using Fyne: They have a Fyne Setup tool that said my system wasn’t setup properly. After going round and round with various things I found out that the Setup app simply lied and I could run/debug a Fyne app. So I wasted a bunch of time needlessly. But, their Discord channel was somewhat helpful.

Figuring out how to lay out controls in a window isn’t nearly as straightforward as a Xojo layout but within an hour I had a reasonable approximation of the layout I wanted to do with a borders, a couple of list boxes, etc.

Still a ton of details to work out yet such as the equivalent of control Events. Theming. Expanding the lists to have headers, sorting, every other row colors, etc. Copilot suggestion on how to Contextual Menu didn’t work so I still need to work that out. And obviously more complex UI’s with lots of controls.

Overall, it’s not really all that complex of a UI system. The UI seems a little primitive so far but I’m withholding judgement for now.
