More over, the sheer number of Python programmers allows for the application to be easily maintained by others. - Flask was choosed as it more than enough for the features that I needed instead of Django. The application is to run locally on a laptop and doesn't really need to have complicated features. - Due to a lack of frontend developers, the simplest UI stack was choosen. HTMX requires no need of JavaScript and was a natural choice. The website needed some basic styling and after looking at a few CSS frameworks, Bulma provided most of the styling. A toasting library, "Notyf" was also used for simple notifications to be sent via some custom javascript code for a simple timer. |
