Fyne is looking to give back 20% of our sponsorship to projects we depend upon! Read more at https://fyne.io/blog/2025/06/23/sharing-sponsorship.html.
And maybe consider sponsoring us so we can make this happen https://github.com/sponsors/fyne-io.
If anyone out there is keen to see how apps can be more secure and robust by default whilst still getting productivity of low-code and AI assistants then you should check out https://apptrix.ai.
I was at the National Portrait Gallery and took the opportunity to learn about programming from an expert 🤩
Really excited to be at #PlusEquals5 at @EdinburghNapier today. Fantastic discussions with industry leaders talking about the future of software engineering.
I hope folk enjoyed my last-minute welcome - nothing like a little adrenaline to boost a presentation ;).
It's always great to see the apps that people are building with Fyne - today we added 3 more to https://apps.fyne.io (now over 150!) - including this stylish XRay VPN client! 😍 #golang #desktop #app #fyne

Fyne Conf is back for 2025 and will be hosted in Edinburgh, Scotland on 19th September. Call for papers is open, looking for speakers on any #Fyne / FyshOS project or related #golang topic… https://www.papercall.io/fyneconf2025
Fyne v2.6.0 is going to be a massive release - higher performance, smoother animations and better data safety. It's a big change and we need your help to test - so we have released `v2.6.0-alpha1`. Please apply it to your apps and let us know of any issues https://fyne.io/blog/2025/02/11/2.6-alpha1.html#about
If anyone wants to chat about Fyne at “State of Open” conference then look out for @andydotxyz in the morning :) #soocon25
Thanks so much to the Fyne-Cross team for another great release. Be sure to upgrade to v1.6.1 and then you can get v1.2.0 of the build images too - Lots of bug fixes, support for latest Fyne features and Go 1.23 https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross/releases/tag/v1.6.1 - https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross-images/releases/tag/v1.2.0
2025 is going to be a much better year. Of course I could just be in a good mood because of the honours I experienced over the holiday period :).
Late last year @goinggodotnet and I recorded a conversation for the @ardanlabs podcast - and it was published on New Year’s Day!
Check it out and hear us talk about education, computers, my early career and how it led to the Fyne project 😀 https://ardanlabs.buzzsprout.com/1466944/episodes/16366029-fyne-startups-and-innovation-with-andy-williams
Oh wow, hugely grateful to @openuk for including me in their Honours List 2025. They are celebrating contributions and leadership in open technology which is a topic very important to me.
Congratulations to all on the honours list!
What a great start to the new year.
Holiday Coding
It's the holiday season which means, apart from family and abundant eating and drinking, it's time to sit down and get some coding projects done. I don't know if others find this too, but I love the opportunity to step away from work and progress projects that have gone dreamed of but otherwise not progressed. So here are a few tasty morsels that I am working on this winter.
I am so honoured to have a 5 page interview in #LinuxFormat this month! Thanks so much for the team at Future for being interested in the work of Fyne Labs and the @fyne GUI toolkit for #golang.
Even more amazing they mentioned it on the front page!!!

Fyne v2.5.3 released with loads of bug fixes and performance improvements, just in time for your winter holiday code projects! https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/releases/tag/v2.5.3
I struggle to describe how amazing it was to meet many of the @fyne community at #fyneconf last week. And what a view from the venue! Thanks to everyone who joined in person or online, and to the wider #golang community for being such a great platform to build on!
If you missed GoperCon UK, or heard the Friday afternoon stories of a graphical apps talk mic-drop but were curious - don’t fear. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/sXKsyuSjJ8o?si=RKLmofmwsw231mzd. Watch to the end and you too can chat about how blown your mind was 🤣. @fyne #golang
