Let’s do it again but in Python! - 29/05/26

If you’ve scrolled slightly down on this list of blog posts you’ll see that this is almost a direct mirror of the project that I completed in December but with a shift of language. The first application was created using Javascript with Electron and whilst it was a valuable learning experience which helped me with my dissertation research artefact, I felt that it was not as beneficial as getting more practice with python. So late at night a few days ago I made the decision that I would recreate it using python and really do my best to work through any hiccups that appeared. When first looking up a GUI that I could use for the development of this tool I clicked one of the top links that appeared which was PySimpleGUI. As described on their site, “it is a wrapper for tkinter (and other GUI libraries) that transforms the GUI SDK into a simpler, more compact architecture while still providing detailed customisation” which fit the requirements for my project.

Electron more like “god-i-hate-JavaScript-tron” - 20/12/25

I was looking at projects that I could do that I haven’t tried in the past and looked for something that could provide me value in my work but also a new learning opportunity. The idea that I settled on was to create a threat intelligence application that I can input file information or IP addresses into, and it would use external APIs to gather the information for and display within the application. Recently I saw some videos about electron apps and thought that surely this was something that could be used to make an app like this.
