On: Fman Build System

[nine_k]

This is a GUI build system, Python + Qt. A number of good apps uses this pair, Fman apparently simplifies the creation of apps of this kind.

Pretty certainly it's lighter weight than Electron, but not exactly featherweight.

The key proposition is packaging for distribution:

> PyInstaller for packaging, NSIS for Windows installers, .dmg files on macOS, .deb files on Ubuntu.

PyQt can be pretty snappy, but all it takes is a little ignorance implementing a slot method to tank performance. You really have to understand your program as a C++ event loop and not a regular Python application.
