## What it is
GXUI is an experimental cross-platform GUI library for Go, providing widgets and rendering via OpenGL. It can also compile to JavaScript with GopherJS to run in WebGL-capable browsers.

## Use cases
- build a desktop GUI app in Go
- create cross-platform graphical interfaces with Go
- run Go UI code in the browser via GopherJS
- render images and text in a native window
- prototype UI toolkits in Go

## When to choose
- you need a Go GUI library for legacy or educational study of Go UI design
- you want to experiment with GopherJS-compiled Go UIs in the browser

## When to avoid
- starting any new Go GUI project - the project is explicitly unmaintained
- you need documented, idiomatic Go code
- you need production support or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, ui-components, graphics
- domain: cross-platform, desktop-applications, web-development
- platform: windows, cross-platform, browser, go
- tags: go-gui, unmaintained, gopherjs, opengl, experimental, linux, macos
