GUI Programming Recommendations
Hello all,
I'm trying to get into GUI programming, but am hesitating on using a Python library to make my first barebones program. My goal is to code basic buttons and understand how operating systems implement the way they draw windows for applications.
I have coded mostly in scientific libraries or high-level languages that are fairly simple (Python, Matlab, Julia)... Also am familiar with basic concepts and syntax from C.
Looking for recommendations to start. I am happy to learn a new PL. Interested in writing code for legacy hardware and mobile. Bonus if the codes are general enough to be written for most displays one could interact with.

Google Is Helping the Trump Administration Deploy AI Along the Mexican Border
Five years after Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian assured employees that the company was “not working on any projects associated with immigration enforcement at the southern border,” federal contract documents reviewed by The Intercept show that the tech giant is at the center of project to upgrade the so-called virtual wall.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is planning to modernize older video surveillance towers in Arizona that provide the agency an unblinking view of the border.
A key part of the effort is adding machine-learning capabilities to CBP cameras, allowing the agency to automatically detect humans and vehicles as they approach the border without continuous monitoring by humans. CBP is purchasing computer vision powers from two vendors, IBM and Equitus. Google, the documents show, will play a critical role stitching those services together by operating a central repository for video surveillance data.

It doesn't matter what anyone does. I don't actively remember snoozing it or sleeping through it. That shit is on autopilot. I have snoozed an alarm and sent a text to someone without waking up.
The 5 alarms is necessary. I have 3 on my phone and 2 on my Google home because I have slept through 2-3 alarms before. If I am asleep asleep you can pour water on me and I won't wake up. Shattering glass. Vacuum. Blender. Lights. You name it.
My mom used to have to take my blankets and pillow away. Turn on my lights. Poor water on me and smack me around to get me outta bed at times.
I blame my father. When I was little I would fall asleep and take naps right next to his floor tom while he was practicing with his band. Full volume band practice and I would just pass out into my box of Legos right there next to him.
It is what it is.

Evidence used to convict Lucy Letby is flawed, leading experts say
The evidence used to convict Lucy Letby of poisoning babies is flawed, seven leading experts have said, in a dossier that will be submitted to the miscarriage of justice watchdog.
The former nurse’s legal team will on Thursday hand an 86-page report to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) which they say casts “serious doubt” on her convictions.
Letby, 35, was found guilty of deliberately poisoning two baby boys with insulin on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester hospital in August 2015 and April 2016 respectively.
The prosecution told jurors at Letby’s trial there could be “no doubt that these were poisonings” and that “these were no accidents” based on the babies’ blood sugar results.
A detailed analysis of the cases due to be handed to the CCRC on Thursday suggests jurors were “misled” about several aspects of the insulin cases, Letby’s legal team said.
The report by seven experts claims that the Roche immunoassay test used in the two cases – and presented as proof of deliberate insulin poisoning – is unreliable.

BDS calls for Boycott of Microsoft Game Pass, Minecraft, New XBox Consoles
The BDS National Committee (BNC) has decided to make Microsoft a “priority target” to pressure the company to end its support for Israel’s war effort, after revelations that its AI and cloud services have been heavily used in the genocidal assault, organizers told Drop Site News.
Two Microsoft employees fired for their activism, Abdo Mohamed and Hossam Nasr, played key roles in driving the BNC’s decision. The pair organized a vigil outside the company’s headquarters in 2024.
The committee is asking all those who have taken its pledge to take three concrete steps
- Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription
- Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft, and Call of Duty—flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft
- Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories, and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard)

"Clear attack on our voting rights": Arizona college students sue to stop Trump's election order
A coalition of advocacy organizations sued the Trump administration Monday over President Donald Trump's executive order requiring Americans to present proof of citizenship to register to vote. Such a requirement — beyond exceeding the president's authority over state-run elections — would effectively silence the voice of college students registering for the first time, unsheltered voters and Native voters, argued the Arizona Students' Association, one of the parties to the lawsuit.
"We really saw firsthand what it looks like in Arizona if we do have these onerous citizenship requirements, so we really wanted to be a part of the voice fighting back to make sure that doesn't happen across the country," Kyle Nitschke, the organization's co-executive director, told Salon, referring to a now-blocked state law that also requires proof of citizenship. In a statement accompanying the lawsuit, he described Trump's order as a "clear attack on our voting rights," arguing that a federal proof of citizenship requirement would further disenfranchise college students.

After promising transparency, RFK guts public records teams at HHS
Teams that fulfilled requests for government documents lost their jobs on Tuesday as part of the Trump administration's 10,000-person staff cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services. Their work, mandated by Congress since the 1960s under the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, gives the public a view of the inner workings of federal health agencies.
Some public records teams were entirely cut at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and other agencies on Tuesday, according to multiple current and former staffers who did not want to be named because of fears of retribution. A few people have been left standing on other FOIA teams within these agencies, for now.
GOP lawmakers sink House Speaker Johnson's effort to block remote voting for new parents
A band of Republican lawmakers sank an effort Tuesday by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to kill a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents, a bitter dispute that brought the House floor to a halt.
A procedural rule vote to advance the House GOP’s package of bills for the week failed 206-222, with nine Republicans bucking Johnson and voting with all 213 Democrats. The failed vote means that, for now, those pieces of legislation cannot move forward for final votes.

Dow drops 1,400 as US stocks lead worldwide sell-off after Trump's tariffs ignite a COVID-like shock
Everything from crude oil to Big Tech stocks to the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies fell. Even gold, which has hit records recently as investors sought something safer to own, pulled lower. Some of the worst hits walloped smaller U.S. companies, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks dropped 5.9% to pull it more than 20% below its record.Wall Street had long assumed Trump would use tariffs merely as a tool for negotiations with other countries, rather than as a long-term policy. But Wednesday’s announcement may suggest Trump sees tariffs more as helping to solve an ideological goal than just an opening bet in a poker game. Trump on Wednesday talked about wresting manufacturing jobs back to the United States, a process that could take years.
If Trump follows through on his tariffs, stock prices may need to fall much more than 10% from their all-time high in order to reflect the recession that could follow, along with the hit to profits that U.S. companies could take. The S&P 500 is now down roughly 11% from its record set in February.
“Markets may actually be underreacting, especially if these rates turn out to be final, given the potential knock-on effects to global consumption and trade,” said Sean Sun, portfolio manager at Thornburg Investment Management, though he sees Trump’s announcement on Wednesday as more of an opening move than an endpoint for policy.

You would have a toolbox for several essential GUI-elements. You could visually create the GUI and add functionality by script. Also, there are several possibilities to handle different screen sizes and touch.
You would have to learn the UI and concepts of Godot but the documentation is ok and there are plenty of tutorials available.

Both are great tools, and make it super easy to understand what goes into all the different pieces of making a GUI app.
If you want something more portable to mobile, maybe Ionic or Cordova would be interesting to you.

in reply to gronjo45 • • •Slint
I really like Slint.
It has Python bindings, tho you wouldn't know it from the docs as it's brand new bindings.
However, it does WORK, and it works well.
Just look for python files in the examples and reference the slint docs (it uses its own UI lang for that stuff anyway).
I'm currently making an application in Python using Slint, and I really like it.
It also supports embedded systems, the web, and multiple languages, AND since it has its own UI lang, you can reuse parts of your UI code across different codebases
It seems to suit your use case.
Godot
Other than that, I second Godot.
HOWEVER
Godot's GD Script is not Python but rather a Python-like language. (in fact, in some ways, I'm glad it's not; there are things I prefer in GD Script).
This is important as you may want to use specific Python libraries which won't work with Godot!
You can, however, use GD Native to bind C++ code and thus C++ libraries, so you'll still be able to get done whatever you need to get done.
Iced
If you're not tied to Python, then I recommend the Rust library Iced as it is a very intuitive system. I really enjoy working with it.
Although, that said, Slint has great support for Rust, so maybe I'd recommend Slint anyway if you were gonna change language.
Warning Against Legacy
Avoid GTK, Qt, and TK at all costs imo. Also WinForms if ur on Windows.
They're old and crusty, and their APIs suck to use, even modern versions, and despite being aged, they're buggy still, not robust "tried-and-true" methods.
It's also hard to do dynamic stuff with them.
Just not well designed systems. Important, valuable to know bc they're used all over, but not well designed
Immediate
I would also try ImGUI.
It's meant more for gamedev UIs rather than Apps themselves (tho I've made a couple in it)
BUT
It's a totally different way of doing UI called "Immediate" bc you program the elements in a big loop, rather than event driven.
It's interesting and worth trying as a learning experience
React
And ofc, the Javascript/Electron world is huge and React is very popular with lots of tools. At least read up on it.

in reply to gronjo45 • • •I've worked with GUIs on python for a couple of years, we used PyQt, which is a python wrapper for Qt which is a C++ library for GUIs. It's fairly straightforward and easy to get something up on the screen in no time.
However from parts of your comment it seems you want to implement your own graphics library, and that is a lot harder to do.
Also you mentioned legacy hardware, not sure how legacy it would be. Python should run on most things people would call legacy nowadays, but there's definitely an overhead that could be felt if you're trying to run this on an embebed system or a REALLY old (as in 90s/00s era) computer.
You also mentioned mobile, I don't think PyQt can be compiled to mobile easily, nor do I think you should even if you manage to (been there, done that, not a happy time). Desktop and Mobile GUIs are very different, realistically if you want something that works well on both mobile and desktop with the same codebase the easiest approach is web UI.

in reply to Dessalines • • •Has been awhile since I made this post. Created some buttons and basic functionality, but Rust has been challenging to me. It's not a language I can quite "think in" yet. Python's or C's syntax make more sense to me, but it's a user problem on my part.
Never have heard of jetpack-compose, and haven't looked at any mobile development frameworks. More interested in making GUI applications for a range of hardware, mostly legacy.

in reply to gronjo45 • • •Pretty much Qt. You can learn how different OSes have different way.
However, modern GUI programming is happening on the web and mobile phones. React is popular, but it's too high level and their XML-based approach is horrifically designed. Swift UI is nice, but it's Apple-only. Flutter is a good middle ground, but its Desktop capability is limited. You're going to shoot on your own foot several times.
