Why not use QT with Python? Why include Typescript or ESLint if they're a Python dev getting used to the ecosystem? Why choose a boilerplate with a bunch of things you don't seem to want or need?
- amelius 5y agoPerhaps because it allows people to use the app remotely and perhaps collaboratively without changing much code. Once you go down the path of a native app, it's difficult to go back.
- ColinEberhardt 5y agoBecause we want the application to have a modern look and feel, and this Python developer has a genuine desire to start learning about modern web technologies.
- jcelerier 5y ago> Because we want the application to have a modern look and feel, you think that e.g. Telegram or MauiKit apps don't look modern ? https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop https://mauikit.org/ https://mauikit.org/
- dalmo3 5y agoIs it fair to say that the expressed concerns are only your own? As I see it, people with genuine desire to learn don't see details such as "number of dependencies" or "linters" as impediments to anything at all.

(Also, while React is my go to web framework because I’ve learned it well from necessity at $DAYJOB, it’s not particularly modern.)
