An everyday Golang reference, from strings and collections to goroutines and design patterns. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. โ€ข 21 sections: basic types, arrays and collections, structs and interfaces, functions and closures, goroutines and channels, error handling, regular expressions, files, serialization, databases, algorithms, design patterns. โ€ข Run in the app: the example actually runs and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection; the daily limit is 30 runs. โ€ข What changed in new versions: 7 sections from Go 1.13 to 1.23, with the old and the new code side by side. โ€ข Keyword and function reference: over 240 articles, browsable as a list or searchable by word. โ€ข SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database (JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types). Queries have their own daily limit. โ€ข Edit examples and add your own; they stay in the app and are always at hand. โ€ข Search looks inside the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. โ€ข Everything except running works offline: examples, search, favorites. โ€ข Comfortable to read: light and dark themes, your own font and size, line numbers, and long lines wrap instead of spilling off the screen. Examples are drawn from professional sources and verified by running them. Built by a developer for developers. In active development since 2015.

Your GitHub contribution graph, right on your home screen โ€” no account required. GitWidget turns any GitHub username into a live, visual snapshot of coding activity. Browse a beautiful animated contribution heatmap, check total contributions, current streak, and longest streak โ€” all without signing in to anything. Enter a username and you're up in seconds. The widget is the star of the show. Pin a small or medium home screen widget to any GitHub username and see the last 3 months of contributions at a glance. GitWidget refreshes throughout the day, so your stats stay current as new commits roll in. Whether it's your own profile or a teammate's, your activity is always one swipe away. Then there's the dino. Commit today and it's absolutely thrilled. Skip a day and it sulks in the corner. Build a streak and it takes flight โ€” literally. It's a small touch, but the kind of daily nudge that actually works. No login. No account. No setup beyond typing a username. GitWidget is built for developers who want their stats visible and immediate, not buried in a browser tab. Recent usernames are saved for quick switching between profiles, and pull to refresh grabs the latest activity whenever you need it. Four color themes โ€” classic green, blue, purple, and sunset โ€” let your widget look right at home on any home screen aesthetic. If you care about your commit streak, want to keep an eye on a collaborator, or just love seeing that contribution graph in all its glory, GitWidget is the simplest way to put it front and center. Download GitWidget and pin your streak to your home screen today.
