As I have written before, you can build efficient and easy to host web apps with Go and SQLite.

I have now developed a suite of personal productivity apps with Go, SQLite and TypeScript+Preact for the web UI.

• Calendar: MyCal
• Mail: MyMail
• Notes: MyNotes

And a simple app to save links with Go, SQLite and htmx:

• MyLinks

I call the whole suite MySuite, which also contains a password manager MyPass made in Rust.

Each of those five has its own native Android app (made in Kotlin).

I have been learning the Go programming language lately, and it’s remarkably easy to build simple web apps with it. In particular, with just a few simple tricks, you can make the deployment of such web apps super simple: just one single standalone statically linked binary which stores its data in one single file.

The Go standard library contains everything needed to build a basic web app:

• A production-ready HTTP server
• An URL router
• Interface for SQL databases
• Parsing command line options
• Simple logging
• HTML templating
• HTTP client

If you use the embed feature, you can embed templates and static resources (CSS, JavaScript, images) and produce one single self-contained binary.
