Its README places the CLI in a broader toolchain that includes Energy Designer, examples, and related runtime modules. The project positions itself between native GUI tooling and Go plus web hybrid applications: LCL provides native controls, while WebView and CEF modes allow HTML, CSS, and JavaScript front ends to communicate with Go back ends. ### Adoption history Energy is distributed through Homebrew as the `energy` executable and is documented through the project site, GitHub README, Go package documentation, and related GitHub repositories. The README also links to a Discord community and related Energy modules, indicating a small but organized ecosystem around the framework. ### How it is used Package-manager users install the CLI to initialize or work with the Energy development environment, then create projects that use LCL native controls, system webviews, or CEF-backed windows. The official quick-start examples show Go programs creating desktop windows, controls, and webview-backed applications. ### Why package nerds care Energy is interesting to package maintainers because it packages a desktop app framework rather than a single end-user utility. Its value depends on coordinating Go modules, native GUI/runtime dependencies, and cross-platform browser back ends. ### Timeline - 2022: Public GitHub repository created. - 2020s: Project documentation describes Energy 3.0 with LCL, CEF, WebView2, WebKitGTK, and WKWebView support. ### Related projects - Related official projects include Energy Designer, energye/lcl, energye/wv, energye/cef, CEF, CEF4Delphi, and WebView4Delphi. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** energy - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [wails](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/wails/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cross-platform, desktop-apps, developer-tools, go. - [wxwidgets](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/wxwidgets/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cross-platform, desktop-apps, developer-tools. - [aurora](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aurora/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [bed](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bed/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [brename](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/brename/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cross-platform, developer-tools. - [cargo-bundle](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cargo-bundle/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, desktop-apps, developer-tools. - [cascadia](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cascadia/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [cassowary](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cassowary/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go. - [skip](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/skip/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
