Chapter 2: The Future According to Fyne

The Fyne toolkit design is based on the premise that the best way to resolve many of the challenges raised in Chapter 1, A Brief History of GUI Toolkits and Cross-Platform Development, is to take a fresh approach to GUI toolkit design. It aims to combine the benefits of a modern programming language, the Material Design look, and a simple API.

In this chapter, we explore the background and ambition of the Fyne project, including the following:

The vision for Fyne and its team
How does a modern programming language enable a fresh approach?
How does it address the complexities of cross-platform, native app development?
