Electron over wxPython

2 points by mandy_suse ↗ HN
I am currently working on an desktop app for segmentation-free handwritten text recognition. It should assist humanists with transcribing historical documents. One requirement of the project is that the application should be a desktop application. Because the backend is written in Python I thought about using wxPython but another requirement is the integration in online platforms which only allow web applications. As I am the only person allocated to this project maintaining two separate code bases (one for the desktop app and one for the web app) seems like a lot of effort. I am not the biggest fan of Electron, but due to the limited ressources I thought about using it on this specific project. Do you think a single code base justifies the possible performance overhead? Thank you for your answers!
