Hey SGarland, thanks for replying!
Launching it only on demand is an interesting idea, and I totally get your sentiment on bloat. I was a 90s teen, 32MB of ram was enough for just about everything at the time, while today that's "embedded" territory, haha. Still, these days my web browser is generally already open.
Anyhow, maybe my writing could have been more clear. I was thinking of it differently, running the app as a persistent webserver. Then I could access the things from anywhere. "Accessible from any web browser" is one of the primary properties I like about the Python Script Server (mentioned/linked in my first post).
Just imagine if someone somehow figured out how to make a Gooey equivalent for Go or Rust. If done well, it could become very popular. Especially considering the difficulty of creating UIs in those languages! Much more challenging than Python.
