This is a great looking project. The combo of single binary Go-lang and the ability to package assets like css, js and html makes this a killed multi platform distributable one click run.

It might be an interesting experiment to have the UI be installable as PWA and thereby not need the electron stack to achieve the common functionality offered by these apps.

This would a great candidate for https://wails.io/. I've been building a lot of utility desktop apps and the static binary is around 9mb (uses the system webview).

I'm also eyeing wails for a couple of personal desktop apps that I want to build soon. I built toy app first towards the end of last year to try it out and I was impressed. It felt like a nice middle ground between Electron and Tauri for desktop apps using a web front-end. Looking forward to the release of v3!
