tkui is one of my joke side projects but it does run and serve a purpose. I was trying to make some quick GUIs in Python for my own use but always restarting the program when small details in the layout changes makes for a slow workflow (closing and reopening the program).
So I wanted to use a GUI editor. I don't remember exactly but I think I didn't find anything that suited (I know I at least looked online for a while). So I decided to make my own, which became tkui.
Now the editor is itself a GUI so it'd be awfully helpful to have a GUI editor to make it. Because time travel isn't an option, I started from scratch and tried to add useful elements for create tkui itself. Of course, those elements are also the elements of tkui. So now tkui is a tkui maker.
If anyone have suggestions for "build orders" for recreating similar programs from scratch, I'd be interested to know.
I tried to make it so I need to restart tkui/the current project as little as possible. I also tried to the keep the project small, although with both dependencies, its getting larger.
