Any plan to support Mac OS? #12

This repo is great! Any tiny gui library that supports mac os like this repo?

The gui package is built directly on top of the Win32 bindings, that's why it's tiny.

In order to have a gui package for MacOS you'd need native MacOS bindings first. It would be a completely different project. I know there are some packages around, but I don't really have any knowledge of them, because I don't have a Mac computer.

Anyway, there are a couple multi-platform gui libraries, which supposedly work for both Windows and MacOS, but they're way more complex because building a multi-platform gui is a very complex task.

I suggest looking in the direction of CEF(Chromium Embedded Framework), which can use web pages to present UI. There is webview2example project, another project available on windows.

I think macOS will have a similar project in the future
