I've been working on a similar python webserver + webview GUI from that used in this repo, but aren't there security concerns of just opening it up to the local network? Aren't you exposing your entire API to any app on the same computer?

I don't think so. If you look at the code carefully, it's pretty much one way traffic. Nothing of significance goes from Client/Webview to the server to get executed.

I was however hoping for authorization based handshakes. Maybe he'll put it in sometime.

On a side note: The project author doesn't sleep enough. He's a good friend. And also it's Finals Week now. :P
