Why I'm creating a batteries-included Go framework with AI integration and code generation

TL;DR

What is Tracks? An opinionated Go web framework that brings Rails-like conventions to Go while embracing modern tools like HTMX, templ, and SQLC. Unlike traditional frameworks, it generates clean, readable Go code you own completely—no runtime dependencies, no magic.

What makes it unique:

  • 🎛️ Interactive Terminal UI for development, debugging, and monitoring
  • 🤖 AI Integration via Model Context Protocol for intelligent code generation
  • 🎵 DAW-style generation - compose your app from separate "tracks" (models, services, handlers, templates)
  • 🚫 Zero runtime dependencies - generated code has no framework lock-in

Tech Stack: Go • HTMX • templ • SQLC • Chi • Casbin • OpenTelemetry
Who it's for: Go developers who want rapid development without sacrificing control or code quality
Current Status: Phase 0 (Foundation) - Core scaffolding ✅ | Everything else 🚧
