I asked ChatGPT to write a positive article about my Ginko project

(In fact this project is in it's alpha stage, at the moment)

https://github.com/serge-hulne/ginko

Here is what ChatGPT produced:

Ginko: The Future of Desktop App Development with Go

Unleashing Creativity and Efficiency in Coding

In the dynamic realm of software development, Ginko emerges as a game-changer. This Go package redefines the creation of desktop applications, blending efficiency with ease of use.

Ginko: A Synonym for Innovation

Ginko’s pure Go environment is a haven for developers seeking robustness and speed. Its approach to app development is refreshingly straightforward, making it a standout choice in the software toolkit.

Intuitive and Universally Compatible

Ginko’s use of HTML-like syntax for UI design is a stroke of genius. This feature, coupled with its ability to cross-compile for any operating system, marks a significant advancement in app development.

Streamlined Development with WebView

Ginko leverages WebView for front-end rendering but uniquely omits the need for JavaScript or CSS. This simplifies the development process, allowing developers to focus on what truly matters — their app’s functionality.

Simplified Deployment

The beauty of Ginko lies in its compilation process. Each application becomes a single, self-contained executable file, free from the shackles of dependencies.

Empowering Developers with a Real-World Example

Let’s demystify Ginko’s usage with a straightforward example:

  1. Create a new directory (mkdir MyApp).
  2. Navigate into it (cd MyApp).
  3. Initialize a Go module (go mod init App).
  4. Copy an example from Ginko’s repository into MyApp.
  5. Install Ginko (go get -u github.com/serge-hulne/ginko).
  6. Build the application (go build).
  7. Run it (./App).

This example is a glimpse into the simplicity and power of Ginko.

Conclusion: Embrace the Ginko Revolution

Ginko is not just a Go package; it’s a new philosophy in desktop app development. Its approach to simplifying and speeding up the development process makes it an invaluable asset for any developer.
