Replying to @johanjanssens
@johanjanssens nous présente comment créer une application de bureau avec #FrankenPHP et @wailsapp. Fantastique de voir les frontières tomber grâce à Go, pour embarquer PHP dans d'autres contextes d'exécution que le web ! #APIPlatformCon

Built a native desktop app in 2 hours using Go and React. No Electron. No REST API. No WebSocket. Just Go functions that React calls directly. The tool is called Wails. Go check it out. @wailsapp #golang #react #wails #desktopapp #coding #programming #buildinpublic

Still alpha, but shipping fast. Full changelog: v3.wails.io/changelog/ Install: go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3… Discord: discord.com/invite/JDdSxwjhG… Feedback especially welcome on GTK4 and server mode — both are experimental and need real-world testing.

alpha.68 added a full Web API example set: • 41 browser API demos: Storage, Network, Media, Device, Performance, UI • WebView API compatibility checker — tests 200+ APIs across platforms Check out: v3/examples/web-apis/ · v3/examples/webview-api-check/
237
alpha.55 cut binary size and improved runtime perf: • Removed 3 deps → ~1.5MB smaller • Switched to goccy/go-json → 21–63% faster JSON, 40–60% fewer allocations • Stack-allocated arg buffer for methods with ≤8 args Less weight, faster calls.

alpha.72 fixed a painful one: wails3 build and wails3 dev hanging 20–30 min on projects with heavy JS deps (MUI etc). Cause: go-task's sources: "*/" was checksumming every file in node_modules/ — 50–100k+ files on NTFS. Fix: exclude node_modules/. Builds are instant again.
185
Drag-and-drop reworked in alpha.56, fixes through .69: • File drop at non-100% Windows scaling ✓ • HTML5 DnD no longer broken with file drop on ✓ • Drop coords fixed (physical vs CSS pixels) ✓ • Linux hover reliable ✓ New API: EnableFileDrop + WindowFilesDropped.
176
macOS this quarter (alphas .65–.74): • Modal sheets • .icon files for Liquid Glass / asset catalogs • <input type="file"> picker fix • Off-thread AppKit ghost windows fix • Frameless window minimise • Systray menu highlight fix
202
alpha.68 landed experimental GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6.0 for Linux. wails3 build -tags gtk4 Big deal for distros moving off GTK3. GTK3/WebKit2GTK 4.1 stays default - gtk4 is opt-in while we stabilise. Also fixes DPI, window position, max size, menu dedup.

alpha.64 added experimental server mode. Build your Wails app as an HTTP server - no native GUI required: `wails3 build -tags server` Same Go backend, same bindings, zero WebView. Docs: v3.wails.io/guides/server-bu…
