Remove console screen for your gui application written in go

Images of appliaction used as example is notepad plus minus. I writen as example. To get details of this program you can visit post " Simple document based application with golang "

Don't know how this works on Mac or Linux as I have not done this on either Mac or Linux. But for windows, I find a way to compile console-less GUI application for golang.

Web designers and developers can reuse their experience and expertise in creating modern looking desktop applications.
