    1. Turning into an executable is compiling as far as C goes. For Python, there probably is something somewhere to wrap a script into a .exe.

    2. For the UI: what matters is the data you generate, not the fluff around it. As the other commenter said, start with a CLI program. You can easily nest several levels of menus if that’s your thing. This allows you to have user input. Then for outputs you can do it to a .txt or .md file. Use simple text-based formats. Then once you’ve got that down you could build a GUI? But tbh I have never built a GUI and I’ve been programming for 10 years at this point so I can’t help you out. There are simple cross-platform libraries you can use out there




  • You mean make a post on Lemmy? For me the root problem is still here: I have no contacts in the (admittedly extremely wide) industry and could not build a platform for people to register their projects to. I can only draw the outline of how this thing would work

    Edit: I’ll try to write something down and make a post somewhere. Any community suggestions?




  • It’s not as simple as having an idea. Everyone can have great ideas, the problem is getting everyone on board and figuring everything else out. I’m not a FOSS dev so I don’t have a foot in the community to pitch that. Don’t mean to shut you down but it is probably more complicated than I made it out to be, otherwise it would probably exist in some shape



  • The problem is always how you divide, particularly for libraries. It is hard to rightly estimate. For better or for worse, we should have a union of open source developers and they should divide it up. Just pay the union and they will share that democratically amongst themselves, deciding their own criterias, sorting out edge cases, having a way to process disagreements, etc
