Shameless plug! I have a similar Python project but focused on building native applications without actually writing a single line of UI code. I call it Gooey[1]! It was front page on HN a few years ago ^_^

The next version is currently in RC1 and brings support for in-UI validation/error messages, better layout customization[2], new widget types, and more!

I'm trying to recruit a few more people to test the current release branch[3] :)

Neat! It would be cool to port this to one of the node option-parsing libraries, perhaps launching a small Electron-ish webapp for the "gooey."


My ultimate goal is to get rid of the need for language specific ports -- one front-end to rule them all! :)

The whole thing is currently powered by plain ol' json. The next step on my list is (optionally) shipping an executable that any language can feed the appropriate JSON to in order to get their GUI side for 'free'.
