lololol yeh that's a big downside to the javascript but there's not any way to do without those deps on any language i know of so it's a pretty harsh and tiny set of options that are left pretty much tothing tbh if there was a Go based one with the vendor folder that would satisfy it if that had a UI

maybe you colud distribute the node_modules?

That would definitely be an option. I'm thinking of maybe creating a complete disk image with all dependencies already downloaded. Then it would be possible to change the source and re-build. How hard is this with Go?

it's built in just run "go mod vendor" and it puts all the dependencies inside a tree inside the "vendor" folder at the root (next to the go.mod)

I like that

there's lots to like about Go except for the lack of GUI tooling
