A major takeaway that came out of the Product Hunt and r/Notion launch was that many users found it tedious to go through the process of setting up a Python and pip environment on their system to the program running.
And since this is a program that in turn has a significant target audience outside of STEM, I feel it's important that we develop a distributable version of the program that is more accessible in nature.
My first pitch for this is to forward efforts into maintaining the project as a web app that can be hosted online using a framework. The base code for this web app and the package would remain the same and updates for both can be done alongside without too many complexities. I am hoping to stick to using free or open-source frameworks where ever possible- spending not much more than just the hosting fees for the domain (I think this too can be avoided if we use a platform like deta.sh or Vercel for deployment).
Alternately for offline use purposes, one can make an executable file for Windows, macOS and Linux using Python's pyinstaller package to further overcome the cognitive load to set up a Python environment for the average non-technical user.
I haven't fully looked into developing these yet as my personal schedule doesn't allow me the time to devote to this project full-time. I'm open to collaborating with any keen developers and UI designers willing to take this often and help put this together.
Feel free to comment below to take this forward.
PS. as of yesterday, the repo touched over 100 commits!
