How do I turn a Go GUI app into a Mac app with Parall?

Grab Parall from App Store, new Command Shortcut: go run . in project dir. Export bundle, pin Dock. Edit-quit-click loop.

Does Parall work with Fyne and other Go GUI frameworks?

Yep, Fyne demo's proof. Works with any go run . GUI — Wails, webview2 alternatives, even plain terminal if you want Dock polish.

Is Parall free or worth the App Store price for Go devs?

Paid, but if you're on Mac hacking local tools, the iteration speed justifies it. Free trial? Nah, but setup's quick to vet.
