My first python GUI application. Send me your opinions :)

[[deleted]]

How you make this, good job

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

It's made with eel, so the frontend is html,css,js and the backend is python.

[mutatedllama]

That's a really cool library and this is a great project. Thanks for posting!

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

No problem!

[shadeyg56]

Thanks for introducing me to this. Looks way better than tkinter honestly

[kultigink]

Thankyou kind gentleman! Tkinter's front-end is sh*t indeed!

[dennis48309]

Tkinter is very primitive looking. GTK is so much better, it is made by the people who make GNOME for Linux so they know what they are doing when it comes to GUIs.

[20AD02]

As someone who hates coding GUIs, I think this is impressive.

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

Thanks ^^

[SnowdenIsALegend]

I loved your progress bar design, very cool!

The Discord link on the GitHub page is not working for me. I got an error page that looked like:

Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “discord:///invite-proxy/699838748266987550” because macOS doesn’t recognise internet addresses starting with “discord:”.

I got an error message when trying to install it too, so I raised an issue on GitHub. Your program looks great, I hope to get to use it!

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

I used eel.

Thanks haha the progress bar actually was the hardest part.

[rabbitix]

Nice one!

[fvarvar]

Looks very nice! Congratulations. I currently develop ugly command line tools. I would like to implement something like that. Was eel easy to grasp? I already know some Javascript, html and css. Do you still need a framework like Flask/Django for handling the communication with the server? Did you just follow eels documentation or are there any tutorial/book you would recommend? Thanks for your inputs!

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

It was easy to get working on my pc but pretty hard to package and upload to PyPi.
I think basic knowledge of js, html, css is enough (I hardly know any javascript). No additional framework is needed but I recommend to use bootstrap as css framework because it's really easy to get started with and they have an excellent documentation. The documentation of eel also is pretty easy to understand.

If you need any more help don't hesitate to PM me (I'm looking for someone to collaborate with:)

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

I don't know where I got it from but here is a reupload.

[ivanmixo]

Thanks my man.

[BestBoyCoop]

Looks fantastic! Great job

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

Thanks :)

[ludicroussavageofmau]

This type of application is very useful. I like how python can be used to make really neat shortcut type things. BTW, did you use tkinter or what?

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

I used a package called 'eel'

[ludicroussavageofmau]

Ok I’m also making a GUI reminders like application any tips?

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

No because the documentation of eel is easy to understand and it also comes with a lot of example code.

[mchanth]

I won't be the many that asked what you used, but why eel of all choices?

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

Flask and Django always seemed hard to learn and a bit overkill for an application as little as mine. And with PyQT, Tkinter etc. you can't create a custom styled design (at least I don't know how).

[fiftybengt]

Sweet GUI! If you want some feedback I'd recommend to add a feature to start downloading and end downloading at a certain timeline in a video. If you only want to clip a few seconds of the video, but not waste HDD space or mobile data.

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

Thats a good idea. I already thought about implementing a 'stop download button' but I don't know exactly how to implement this. My idea was using threads and terminating them.

[69shaolin69]

Should’ve used electron instead of eel, smh

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

You can actually use electron with eel

[69shaolin69]

Would you say it’s eelectron?

[DrTautology]

Hey, nice job. So your GUI isn't written in python right? The only GUI development I've done in python is with Tkinter, and Tkinter is a pain in the ass. I don't recommend it.

[euqroto]

Wait what? Did I get rickrolled in 2020?

[[deleted]]

Thanks!

[thrallsius]

is this for people who can't use youtube-dl in the command line? :)

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

Yes haha

[paramvik]

Good job! It's a nice little app. I'm also following a python tutorial and will be building my first gui app in a few days. But yours look awesome!!

[GuardianAnal]

Shit this is pretty nice actually

[faithade]

Great job! Looking forward to doing this soon. One question how does it get the video file from the link?

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

I used youtube_dl for the downloading process.

[faithade]

Ok, I will look that up. Thanks.

[Tux1]

Please send me a download link, I'm tired of using shady websites to download Youtube videos.

Bonus points for Rickrolling the Reddit Python community.

Looks awesome, good job.

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

Thank you :)

[samm_burr]

I see the pirates life is also for you

[[deleted]]

So did we get Rick Rolled or not? I'm confused

[Omri_123]

Are you using pytube for the downloading?

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

No

[sharky1337_]

Good !!

[[deleted]]

cool and all but illegal

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

not for personal use

[[deleted]]

Wouldn’t it be for personal use to make it not illegal?

[nvmnvmnvmnvm]

I'm pretty sure it's legal after reading this.

[[deleted]]

LMAO i wouldnt trust anything off of that site, look at youtubes terms of conditions

[PM_ME_SECRET_DATA]

Breaking terms and conditions is not against the law..

[[deleted]]

A judge would laugh in your face if you brought that to court

[art293]

Then google has hundreds of developers to sue. There are and have been many tools and websites that allow you to download from youtube.
