Kudos to the writer! I used this framework for an small robotics project and, as others pointed out, I was up and running in less than an hour.
However, as the project grew more complex, I reached a point where I felt the framework was in the way: I wanted complex things, and lacked the means to configure the framework that precisely.
I would recommend others to keep the framework for what it does so incredibly well : small / prototypes projects ; but do not hesitate to switch to a more powerful backend once you feel your needs are complexifying.
I have a feeling that most python GUIs are lacking in some area and for full creative freedom someone would have to go for flask or fastapi, build the UI with modern js-frontend frameworks and connect that frontend with the actual application using websockets or regular HTTP-Requests.
I’ve had great success using PyQt for quite sophisticated GUIs. Any of the native bindings should give good results too. I doubt JS would give you more flexibility and performance than these.
I have found DearPyGui [1] to be a really efficient way to knock up a quick GUI for a Python script/app. There's almost no boilerplate and I've found it scales reasonably well as things get more complex as it's easy to split views/"components" into modules and classes.
This is exactly what happened with my home dashboard.
The initial version, 5 or so years ago (maybe a bit more, I do not remember) was based on a python library (sorry, I forgot the name but it was the major one at the time). It worked fine for a bit but moving to a kiosk browser and vue.js completely changed the game.
The backend was Python, then got replaced by a bus (mqtt) updated via golang microservices (they were in python initially, but then I wanted to learn go)
For most applications in my company, we prefer fastapi + Jinja to generate HTML pages, and rely on the browser to display that for us. For the few programs that need to be run locally & without browser, we use PySide2 (Qt bindings): the framework is bulkier, but somehow feels more reliable.
