Hi, HN! I've spent the last few years building Project Forge, a web application generator/manager, and I'm excited to release it today.

Project Forge helps you create and maintain Golang web applications using the latest tech from the Golang ecosystem, with a focus on developer experience and runtime speed. Unlike most code generation platforms that run only once, Project Forge continues to maintain your application as you work on it, keeping your codebase tidy and secure.

Apps created with Project Forge are web applications, though they're able to be packaged as Linux/macOS/Windows desktop builds (that don't use Electron), Android/iOS mobile builds (with nice clean native codebases), WASM Service Workers (completely offline, almost all features supported), or just a basic 20MB CLI server application for pretty much any platform/OS. The UI is responsive, accessible, and animated, but works perfectly fine without JavaScript.

It feels like I've been hacking on this thing forever, and I've added every useful feature and optimization I can think of, even creating a bunch of half-finished example projects to prove its utility. I hope the community finds Project Forge useful, or at least digs through the repo to find some cool tricks to use in their own projects. Feedback welcome!
