## What it is
go-app is a Go package for building progressive web apps (PWAs) using WebAssembly, with a declarative, component-based UI syntax written entirely in Go. Apps run in the browser, can run in their own window, support offline mode, and are SEO friendly via the standard Go HTTP model.

## Use cases
- build a progressive web app in Go
- write frontend UI without JavaScript
- compile Go to WebAssembly for the browser
- create offline-capable web apps
- build component-based UIs with a declarative syntax
- make a desktop-like app that runs in its own window

## When to choose
- you are a Go developer who wants to build web frontends without learning JavaScript frameworks
- you need PWA features like offline mode and installability out of the box
- you prefer a declarative, component-based UI model similar to React but in pure Go

## When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem of third-party UI components or mature tooling like React or Vue offer
- your project requires SEO-critical server-rendered content as the primary strategy
- you need native mobile or desktop apps rather than web/PWA targets

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: frontend-framework, ui-components, wasm, web-framework, state-management
- domain: web-development, frontend, cross-platform, developer-tools
