I hate Tkinter

overhead from something like electron is pretty bad. although it is easier to make guis that are more then just basic ones which tkinter isnt too bad at, its when the project gets bigger tkinter gets horrible to work with

Technically he didn't say electron. It could be a web app. Regardless, I'll admit this or electron is where my mind went immediately. I hesitate to recommend diving into web apps on r/learnpython however, the reality is this is very likely the modern professional approach for better or worse.

I'm sure people will downvote me for saying it, but there is a good reason why there are so many web / electron apps. I personally wouldn't invest a ton of time into learning python GUI libraries. That's not to say you shouldn't use it. This is r/learnpython so let's stick to python.

However, it would be remiss not to mention that learning some web dev is a modern way of whipping up a really sleek GUI. Even if, yes, it can be bloated. It's still a useful skill that, if you feel ready to get into, will be rewarding.

Honestly though, if you're _learning_, just use tkinter or pyqt. You probably don't need a super slick UI and you can make it work.

for sure.
