Building out the web ecosystem for Go over at: https://github.com/livebud

Go is a surprisingly pleasant language for building websites, especially for indie hackers, yet the tooling is not quite there. I'm trying to get the developer productivity for building websites in Go to be on par with building web applications in Node.

With ESBuild and Goja maturing, we're pretty close. Go is still just missing a few important connections needed to the frontend ecosystems (e.g. React, Tailwind, etc.)

Let me know if you're also interested in this space!

What about go tooling's missing in your mind? I've never found a language as prepared for it (node feels horrifying and dreadful in compariosn).

Mostly the frontend story. Server-rendered React pages that work with layouts and error pages. You can cobble something together, but it's not as seamless as Next.js or Remix.
