I've successfully implemented Windows Jumplists for Wails v3 with the following features:
### 1. **Windows Implementation** (`jumplist_windows.go`)
- Full COM interface implementation for ICustomDestinationList, IShellLink, IPropertyStore, and IObjectCollection
- Support for custom categories and tasks
- Runtime configuration capabilities
- Proper error handling and cleanup
### 2. **Cross-Platform Stubs**
- Created stub implementations for macOS (`jumplist_darwin.go`) and Linux (`jumplist_linux.go`)
- These are no-ops that prevent compilation errors on non-Windows platforms
### 3. **API Integration**
- Added `CreateJumpList()` method to the main App struct
- Platform-specific dispatch to the correct implementation
### 4. **Example Application**
- Created a complete example in `v3/examples/jumplist/`
- Demonstrates custom categories, tasks, and runtime configuration
- Includes comprehensive documentation
### Key Features:
- **Custom Categories**: Applications can create named categories like "Recent Documents"
- **Tasks**: Common application tasks that appear at the bottom of the jump list
- **Runtime Configuration**: Jump lists can be updated at any time during application execution
- **Cross-Platform Safe**: The API gracefully handles non-Windows platforms
### Usage Example:
```go
jumpList := app.CreateJumpList()
jumpList.AddCategory(application.JumpListCategory{
Name: "Recent Files",
Items: []application.JumpListItem{
{
Type: application.JumpListItemTypeTask,
Title: "Document.txt",
FilePath: "path/to/app.exe",
Arguments: "--open Document.txt",
},
},
})
jumpList.Apply()
```
The implementation follows Windows jumplist specifications and integrates seamlessly with the existing Wails v3 architecture.

Introduction
The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!
Features
- Use standard Go for the backend
- Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
- Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
- Easily call Go methods from Javascript
- Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
- Native Dialogs & Menus
- Native Dark / Light mode support
- Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
- Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
- Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
- Multiplatform
- Uses native rendering engines - no embedded browser!

FAQ
-
Is this an alternative to Electron?
Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Wails does offer native elements such as menus and dialogs, so it could be considered a lightweight electron alternative.
-
Who is this project aimed at?
Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.
-
What's with the name?
When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
