## What it is
therecipe/qt provides Go language bindings for the Qt widget toolkit, letting developers write fully featured Qt applications entirely in Go (and optionally other languages). It also simplifies cross-compiling and deploying Qt apps to desktop, mobile, embedded, and WebAssembly targets.

## Use cases
- build a cross-platform desktop GUI app in Go
- write Qt applications without C++
- deploy a Go GUI app to Android or iOS
- compile a Go GUI app to WebAssembly for the browser
- create widgets-based apps for Raspberry Pi or embedded Linux
- build a native-looking UI for Windows, macOS, and Linux from one codebase

## When to choose
- you want a full-featured, mature widget toolkit accessible from Go
- you need to target many platforms including mobile and embedded from a single Go codebase
- you prefer native desktop UIs over web-based Electron-style apps

## When to avoid
- you want a lightweight, actively evolving Go GUI with minimal setup
- you need fast-moving Qt 6 features or frequent updates
- your team cannot handle a heavyweight build toolchain (Qt SDK, qtsetup)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, mobile-framework, desktop-framework
- domain: cross-platform, desktop-applications, mobile-development, web-development
- platform: windows, wasm, cross-platform, go
- tags: qt, golang, gui-framework, bindings, freebsd, raspberry-pi, webassembly, deployment, macos, linux, android, ios
