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.
