examples/11-fyne-stopwatch broken?

[tpoindex]

I'm running through examples having built sky from source as of 5/08. Looks like 11-fyne-stopwatch doesn't actually display the stopwatch and start/stop/reset buttons from the go_helper module. It appears the FFI was removed on Mar 26 in commit 3f0e5f0 and never re-enabled.

Any chance to get this working again?

@tpoindex confirmed regression. due to compiler rewrite -- something broke on the FFI side, and I simply took a shortcut to remove the offending blocks to let it compile, I shouldn't!

I will see if I can put a proper fyne one ... in fact ideally I want no custom go code too (it may be challenging but we'll see).

Thanks for pointing this out.

p.s. next time you can raise an issue directly so I won't miss it.

@tpoindex now tracked issue here:
#51

@tpoindex v0.12 has just been released.
This won't fix the hole where fyne & other Go packages require self callback -- I'm still experimenting how best to deal with this (as we need a temp var for the instance and pass it back to a lambda or function in advance, like in fyne button callback function).

What I have shipped is a complete different angle, Sky to have built-in libs to deal with cross platform & backend UI views.

I have decided to extended the usage of Sky.Ui -- it used to serve Sky.Live application as the view engine, but now it can also serve TUI, which means we have the huge benefits of building one Ui view, and reuse in multiple back ends, web & terminal; I spent a good amount of time to find the right balance how to translate the styles (and CSS semantics) into terminal viable renders, the result is acceptable for me.

And my upcoming releases will focus on bringing a WebView, and hardest part, hopefully with a GUI backend, natively to Sky.

So we can code in single UI views and render on web, terminal, desktop & mobile application -- it's a huge feature so please bare with me taking some time to architect and experiment.

In the meantime please feel free to upgrade to latest sky upgrade to try and feedback!

Thanks 🙏

Nice! I love the idea of running the same code in different platform types.
