Use PyQt5 Library for GUI Framework #13

Closed sjDan2003 closed 5 years ago

sjDan2003 commented 5 years ago

After some feedback, I have decided to move to PyQt from Kivy.

While this app is eventually being targeted for mobile and Kivy was designed for mobile and multi touch interfaces, it has become apparent that the industry prefers to use QT over other GUI frameworks. There is more documentation and support for PyQt, as well as more support. There also seems to be ways to convert PyQt programs to mobile. This would also mean that anybody wishing to contribute to this project would not have as much of a learning curve trying to learn Kivy over PyQt. This effort will be done while the GUI is still unrefined and while the backend is the primary focus of development.

After looking more at PyQt, I've decided to stay with Kivy as I think end users really would use their mobile device to use this app, and Kivy was designed for mobile and touch screen interfaces. I will think of another program to practice PyQt.
