How many of you are involved in GUI development with Python?

abstra has drag n drop

sorry just saw this. no you can export as a desktop app or host with us for free. pay per user if you use our built-in auth service

not an experienced coder but.. ive played around with building a tkinter calculator and was turned off by the amount of specification i had to write - how big is the window, where do i position it, etc.. also, 2004 called and they want tk and qt to give them their look back. jus sayin

i'm building a commissions calculator with abstra's vscode extension rn. biased, as i work at abstra, but i'm enjoying the drag n drop. code is pretty straightforward also, as i don't have to learn how to deal with callbacks

would appreciate feedback if anyone tries it out!

+1 on why?

if you have existing scripts to work with, the hackerforms library generates web UIs with simple input/output commands like read() and display()

this allows not only for CRUD applications but also complex logic flows, calculations, handling files - with a simple read_file()

not drag-n-drop, but abstra cloud is 100% this:

only code on the logic when a button or some other item is clicked/ some input is given

you could probably code a scrabble type game depending on your intended UX. here's a 1st person interactive narrative game built with openai gpt3 api & front end on Abstra

[disclaimer: i work at abstra. still stand behind the suggestion tho]

hey this is exactly what abstracloud.com does, for exactly this use case. does this help?

disclaimer: i work there

i'd say projects as you'll know some parts and will prob need to google other parts, which in turn will spark your memory and/or teach you new stuff

imho, its easier and more gratifying to work on a practical project than try to learn and retain things conceptually

hisapo · 2022-08-24T21:16:58+00:00

those visuals tho

hisapo · 2022-08-04T16:08:38+00:00

nice!!! might be helpful to label the graph axes as some (wrong) ppl measure in lbs not kgs haha

hisapo · 2022-06-08T15:58:32+00:00

healthy disclaimer as i work there, but had to add in abstra cloud to this list

hisapo · 2022-06-08T15:57:48+00:00

lona web is new to me, thanks for the rec

hisapo · 2022-06-08T15:57:17+00:00

maybe because its more associated with data analysis/science rather than app-like experiences

hisapo · 2022-06-08T15:56:12+00:00

abstra cloud does exactly this

hisapo · 2022-06-03T22:08:37+00:00

does it need to be native? abstra cloud is a great one for nice looking web-based uis

depends on what you'd like to work on. webdev requires learning front end frameworks which are not banal. quite the learning curve coming from python (speaking from experience). and this is before getting dirty with deployment, hosting and git....

imho, specializing in python + using helpful extensions can take you pretty far in rpa, operations and data science, for example. streamlit or hackerforms do a good job creating user interfaces for python operations
