building colima’s user interface 2: tools

For this project, I will be using Go to build the desktop application. I will be leveraging the Wails framework to create the desktop application and handle all the backend work. Another option was to use Fyne, but I would be limited to their GUI components. With Wails, I can have Go handle all the backend work and use React.js for the frontend. I am choosing not to build this application in Electron because I want to improve my Go proficiency, and Colima is also written in Go.
