New ask Hacker News story: Python dev considering Electron vs. Kivy for desktop app UI
Python dev considering Electron vs. Kivy for desktop app UI
2 by joshlikesai | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey folks, I'm working on building a simple desktop app for Windows and Mac that needs a basic chat interface and ability to set up API keys. I know Python but not JavaScript/React. Should I go with Kivy since I know Python, even though I haven't seen great-looking Kivy apps? Is it possible to make decent looking apps with Kivy? I hear people say it is but I'm yet to see an example that looks nearly as good as what you get with JS frameworks. Or do I bite the bullet and learn Electron/React for a sleeker UI, despite not knowing JS? I'd like to get this done quickly without too much ramp up time. Kivy has the bonus of potentially compiling to mobile too. But a nice UI is important. What would you recommend for a Python dev looking to build a decent looking desktop app UI without too much overhead? Thanks!
