We've just released Pglet 0.2.0!
A ton of new controls were added such as navigation menu, toolbar, grid, tabs, dialog and panel. Now we feel confident Pglet allows to fully unleash your creativity and build a user interface of any complexity!
New features
ARM support
This release adds binaries for Linux ARM and Apple Silicon M1 - Go 1.16 made that possible. Now you can add remote web UI to your Raspberry PI apps or control what's going on in any IoT device.
Docker image
Docker image pglet/server with self-hosted Pglet Server is now available - run it on a VPS server or drop into your Kubernetes cluster.
Theming
Theming in Pglet takes similar approach as in Fluent UI Theme Designer - you choose primary, text, background colors and the theme is auto-magically generated from those colors. To change page theme in Pglet set page control properties: themePrimaryColor, themeTextColor, themeBackgroundColor. Check out Theme demo!

replacecommand.- Event ticker to avoid hanging event loops.

ALLOW_REMOTE_HOST_CLIENTS=trueenvironment variable. Pglet Server Docker image set this variable by default.
