I need to look into Wails, thanks for the tip.

My use-cases would be perfect for a TUI, but I need to be able to display pictures and videos, so I'm stuck with a GUI :)

Tried to do a web ui + local backend setup, but that didn't go too well.



You can display videos and pictures in the terminal...

mpv --no-config --vo=tct /my/video.mp4


If you want to play videos at 32p…

High resolution images on the other hand is supported natively in many terminals (sixel protocol, iTerm 2 protocol, etc.).
