Gale

Gale is an experimental Go UI toolkit with a small declarative component API, reactive signals, flex-style layout, and native rendering backends.

The project is still early. The public API, renderer internals, and demo surface are expected to change while the core architecture settles.

Requirements

• Go 1.26 or newer
• A platform supported by GLFW 3.3 and WebGPU through go-webgpu

Install the CLI

go install github.com/redstone-md/Gale/cmd/gale@latest

From a local checkout:

go build -o gale ./cmd/gale

On Windows, use gale.exe as the output binary name.

Run the demo

gale build ./cmd/demo
gale dev ./cmd/demo

When working from a local checkout on Windows:

go build -o gale.exe ./cmd/gale
.\gale.exe dev ./cmd/demo

Package example

package main

import "github.com/redstone-md/Gale"

func main() {
	_ = gale.Column(
		gale.Style{
			Width:  gale.Percent(100),
			Height: gale.Percent(100),
		},
		gale.Children(
			gale.Text("Hello Gale", gale.TextStyle{Size: 18}),
		),
	)
}

Development

go test ./...
go build ./...

Build outputs, local runtime state, logs, and Continuum metadata are ignored by Git so they do not leak into the public repository.
