# Iris Vision
WASM reactive UI framework for Go - build browser applications without JavaScript.
## Organization Context
This repo is part of Flowmade. See [organization manifesto](https://git.flowmade.one/flowmade-one/architecture/src/branch/main/manifesto.md) for who we are and what we believe.
## What This Is
Iris is an open-source UI framework that enables Go developers to build reactive browser applications compiled to WebAssembly. It provides:
- **Signals-based reactivity** - Automatic DOM updates when state changes
- **Component library** - Button, Text, Input, View, Canvas, SVG
- **Client-side routing** - Router with guards and history management
- **OIDC authentication** - Browser-based auth flows for WASM apps
- **Static file server** - Host component for serving WASM applications
## Who This Serves
- **Go developers** who want to build web UIs without learning JavaScript
- **Teams** building internal tools and dashboards
- **Projects** that benefit from shared Go code between server and client
## Goals
1. **Simple reactivity** - Signals that just work, no complex state management
2. **Familiar patterns** - Go idioms, not React/Vue patterns forced into Go
3. **WASM-first** - Designed for WebAssembly, not ported from elsewhere
4. **Minimal dependencies** - Only syscall/js for browser interop
## Non-Goals
- Server-side rendering (SSR)
- Virtual DOM diffing
- CSS-in-Go styling system
- Component marketplace
