Go orchestrates everything: business logic, authentication, authorization, email, rendering. JavaScript is optional progressive enhancement, not a requirement.\nStatus: Alpha\nThe Problem # Starting a new Go web app means wiring together a dozen libraries, setting up auth, configuring email, choosing a templating engine, and making architectural decisions before you write a single line of business logic. GHOST handles all of that so you can focus on what makes your app unique.\nCore Principles # Go orchestrates everything. All business logic, persistence, authentication, and rendering live in Go. HTML-first delivery. Pages render server-side. JavaScript is optional progressive enhancement. Ports and adapters. Every capability exposes interfaces with swappable implementations. Don\u0026rsquo;t like a particular library? Swap it out without touching your business logic. Security by default. Cookies, tokens, and redirects ship with hardened, opinionated defaults. What\u0026rsquo;s Included # Authentication # OAuth2 provider support (Google, GitHub, GitLab, Discord, and more) Magic link authentication via email JWT access/refresh tokens with configurable expiration Secure session cookies with HttpOnly/SameSite flags enforced Authorization # Role-based access control (RBAC) via a policy engine Fine-grained permissions Multi-tenant support out of the box Email # SMTP notifier for transactional email Templated message support Persistence # SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server) ArangoDB document database Implement your own adapter by conforming to the port interfaces Starter Template # Server-side HTML rendering with component reuse Modern frontend tooling (asset bundling, styling, icons) HTMX for dynamic interactions without page reloads Login/registration flows, user profiles, admin panel, health checks Dark mode support Deployment configs for Docker, Linux packages, Homebrew, and systemd Who It\u0026rsquo;s For # Server-rendered web apps with progressive enhancement Apps needing first-class auth with OAuth, magic links, and session/token management Teams that prefer explicit architecture over framework lock-in Not For # Offline-first PWAs or heavy client-side state machines Full SPA replacements GHOST is currently in alpha.
