#2Please forgive me if the title isn't 100% accurate. After thinking about it, this possibility of combining both native and web view rendering seems like it could be an interesting approach for a wide variety of potential use-cases.
Are there any nice tools out there for creating apps that render to both native + web?

Create HTML app and pack it in some kind of shell (chromium embeeded, atom shell, nodewebkit)?

GTK3 has a HTML5 backend: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html
But i think you still need all the libs and stuff.

#7I've not tried this but I thought I'd mention that I've been using the QT QML packages for building desktops apps and the results are amazing!
Even better with the Material additions from here:

Building Google Material themed apps easily with a Golang back end? Lovely!
I really hope the Golang team are considering the QML package as part of the standard library in Go v2, it would an absolutely awesome GUI kit to have as standard!

#9How is this a 'native app GUI'? It's only OpenGL as far as I can tell?

#10I was excited to see "native" UI -- which I read as using the specific OS APIs to create native controls.
