If it helps, I've recently started adding more UIs to things and the main way I'm doing it is with web pages.
Easy to make, lots of tutorials, requires another language unfortunately but still a useful skill.
Not always applicable, but can be a good approach.
Best of luck, I know there are some hard steps to take (particularly the stage of "ok I can write code but what can I actually do with it"), but things really build after a while. Oh, and I've been coding for maybe 17 years and
1. I keep writing code that's wrong
2. I get basic things wrong all the time
3. I still have to regularly look things up
My wife is learning to code, and I think she felt these things meant she wasn't doing well at it, but it's really common. I'm just used to it and have more experience finding my mistakes because I've made them so much.

I think so. I think there's a huge step forwards when you can get something working quickly, then build from there.
- djaychela 9y agoThanks for all that - one of the most honest and helpful comments I've seen on here, and particularly useful for me! Usually people don't let on about them, so I feel much better. I'm buying my youngest step-child a Micro:bit for Christmas. Well, I say it's for him...
