Integrate a Web-app #95

Closed PaulMcInnis closed 2 years ago

PaulMcInnis commented 3 years ago

Description It would be really nice to have some kind of web-app to use jobfunnel with, perhaps even just to provide a good demo experience.

i.e. https://pages.github.com/

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally the user could run jobfunnel in-browser and review results with a simple web-app.

Describe alternatives you've considered It may be more desirable to make something that runs on a user's local machine, limitations of github pages could prove a blocker.

This is really funny; I was talking to a friend about this a few months ago. I was thinking more in the lines of a full-blown desktop app for JobFunnel. A GUI where users who aren't very too savvy can just edit the settings file and fire up JobFunnel. This should be relatively straightforward with something like PyQt or WXWdigets. I would take a stab at it, but my schedule is full at the moment :sweat_smile:.

PyQT could work if we build standalone apps, but it might not be the best user-experience. I

I'm gonna take a look around this weekend and see what might work nicely... will sync back and update here.

I was also interested in taking a look at GoDot https://godotengine.org/

I think running jobfunnel on the user's machine should be preferred. Github Pages shines in static pages but is not very suited for dynamic content.

I do agree with @thebigG that many not-so-tech-savy people will have difficulty running the jobfunnel software using a command line. Anecdotal evidence: most of my friends wouldn't even know what a CLI is. Either a web page or a cross-platform GUI could be a solution.

I have zero experience implementing this since most software I write is for tech-savvy people (mostly myself) but I'd love to learn about this, since I believe it's a valuable skill to have.

This would be nice, but I dont see it happening right now, open to revisiting this in the future.
