Gova is a declarative GUI framework for Go that allows building native desktop apps across macOS, Windows, and Linux with typed components, reactive state, and one static binary. It offers a unique blend of Go's type safety with a declarative UI paradigm, platform-native dialogs, and hot reload, making desktop app development in Go more accessible and expressive. Its novelty lies in combining a Fyne-based backend with a Vue-like reactive scope system tailored for Go.

Target audience: backend devs, desktop app developers
