ELDonationTracker VS Gui.cs

https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker depends on

http://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/ - for tracking donations to Extra Life and displaying when Live Streaming

Python - it’s my main language and the one in which I’m most proficient. I have written some programs used by many others (like my Extra Life Donation Tracker) and utilities that solve some problem I have (like my btrfs snapshot and backup program). By solving each problem in Python first, I allow myself to focus on the problem first instead of a syntax I’m unfamiliar with.

If you want to move to GUI programs, I recommend : Qt5 Python GUI Programming Cookbook. Using QT Designer you can GUI programs pretty quickly. I used this book to create the GUI for my Extra Life project: http://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/

not sure if this is going beyond automation, but my most complex Python program which is actually used by other folks is for generating Donation Alerts while Live-Streaming to Twitch (or wherever) - http://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/

I use JSON and a dataclass (not a literal dataclass w/ the decorator and all). See ParticipantConf class starting line 103 https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker/blob/master/eldonationtracker/utils/extralife_io.py

In my project, here are the files that QT Designer saves: https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker/tree/master/QTdesignerfiles

I wanted to be able to use the Donation API when doing the Extra Life fundraiser, so I made: https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker

I'm using it for my program as well. It's really awesome, especially if you use qt designer. https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker

Thanks but I'm sticking with Terminal.Gui

Used this neat library to handle the GUI gui-cs/Terminal.Gui: Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET (github.com)

Terminal.GUI - cross platform terminal UI for .NET: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Two I've used are Terminal.Gui for .net https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui and BubbleTea for Go https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

In that case you can use console (https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui) to make games.

As you can see the tool is always integrated into the terminal because it has built on a cross platform UI toolkit based on a fantastic open source project called Terminal.Gui. Now you can select the objects by using space bar and than confirm the selection with enter. The result will be:

C# - https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Since you mentioned minimal GUI, have you thought of a TUI? I haven't spiked it out but I would guess Terminal.Gui would work with Native AOT

I've had to resort to make TUIs with https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui because there's no sane way to make a GUI app in Linux without a 300-files boilerplate or obscure languages.
