Show HN: Cross-platform desktop applications with PyQT
Coding is only a part of my job. I am currently building an application for our warehouse, connecting our ERP to some external services. Lots of moving parts across several machines. In the middle is a tiny GUI, which has been more trouble than the rest put together.  I used Tkinter to minimise dependencies. I am staggered by how much code it takes to get a GUI working (compared to the rest of the project), and this is just a plain industrial app. I&#x27;m sure this is part of the reason why JavaScript is taking over the desktop. Visual Studio had me making apps like this in minutes last time I used it (some time ago). Where did we go wrong?<p>I recently wanted to dabble with a tiny Android app, after hours wasted trying to get Kivy to work I bought a book on Kotlin and downloaded Android Studio, lots to learn but with the advantage that it works.<p>If I had just learnt JavaScript instead I could have done both in one hit.
