Lofi GUI tooling
Project description
lofigui
This is tooling for me as a go and python programmer to provide really simple front ends. They serve the same area as:
It provides a way to build a very simple web app that can be bundled if required. The use cases are:
- quick and simple
- more than a static website
The use cases are:
- providing a gui for a command line tool
- 1-10 users
- more for front ends for single physical object or a single process
I have used Bulma as a CSS framework to make it look prettier as I am terrible at design.
Elements
Your project is essentially a web site. To make design simple you completely refresh pages so no code for partial refreshes. To make things dynamic it has to be asynchonous so for python using fastapi as a server and Uvicorn to provide the https server.
Like a normal terminal program you essentially just print things to a screen but now have the ability to print enriched objects.

In order to be able
Alternative approaches
The difference is that this approach should be very simple and easily understandable. For the moment no Javascript is used.
Roadmap
- A go version, will be event simpler
- A go wasm version for deploying serverless (no physical object)
