Definitely, thank you. Ankify really was present in every step of me learning programming.

I think I just got caught at a bad time with Python. It was a few years ago, and Python was in the process of going from 2 to 3. Consequently, a lot of the things I tried ended up throwing error messages.

I tried few of Python's GUI makers but found that I end up having to learn so many new things that only apply to that one GUI program. Where as with Electron, I'm really using HTML/CSS/tailwind that I use every where else. I could essentially make Ankify web only and it would make minimal difference to the UI.

I was fond of PyAutoGUI. It seemed very intuitive for me at the time.

You could look into Python Eel. It's pretty useful to create a quick web based desktop GUI with Python. I'm currently working on a project with it that uses React for the GUI.
