I thought "Wails" was gonna be short for "Wuby on Wails" lmao

Cool project actually, but I noticed the author said "No Electron" as if Electron is synonymous with JavaScript.

My biggest concern about it actually is using Go to render web front-ends in HTML/CSS hahah so I'm not sure "No electron" is selling me.

"No electron" is more about avoiding bloat and dependencies.

I come from a hardcore, real-time C++ background and the idea of a product not being a single self-contained binary is just too far for me to go!

(But I don't think the choice of JS back-end should make the slightest difference to anyone using this. I could swap electron in there in the future and probably no-one would notice)
