programming question
does there exist a way to make gui applications that isn't extremely annoying to either user (electron/etc.) or developer (everything else?)
re: programming question
@alyssa how simple is the gui in question?
re: programming question
@wallhackio initially pretty simple forms-style, tho with slightly fancy rich text editing. eventually i probably will end up wanting more complicated stuff like dragging widgets around freely on a canvas
re: programming question
@wallhackio did you have suggestions?
re: programming question
@alyssa Oh sorry I forgot about this. I haven't used it myself, but there is a Python library called Eel that opens a browser in application mode. It lets you write HTML/CSS/JavaScript for simple desktop UIs and also magically allows JavaScript to interface with Python code.
It's mainly used by Python developers with web dev experience who want to make simple UIs for the dev team. But you can also use it as a lightweight alternative to electron.

@wallhackio all good. probably not what i'd wanna go for but things for the suggestion :)
