Refactor code into front- and backend

[roaldarbol]

Could be either Qt or something that runs in the browser like streamlit.

It might be possible to migrate to Qt6, as it miiiiight be possible to get PySide6 bindings: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74797491/13240268

Streamlit seems out of the question, as there are issues with multiprocessing and video acquisition.

Nah, I'll stay with tkinter. But I've started a proper refactoring of the code, so frontend is separated from backend functionality - would make potentially switching in the future a lot easier and maintenance too!

not to throw a wrench into your plans, but also consider:

https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio
https://pynecone.io

All input is highly appreciated! One thing I currently need is support for multiprocessing and (at the moment) OpenCV. It seems that gradio doesn’t support mp and I can’t find anything on it Pynecone. Just throwing you a bone, if you’d be interested in helping with development it would be immensely helpful - but no pressure!🙈

I really like the idea of a webapp though!

I've got enough of my own projects 😄 , but always happy to give an extra set of eyes.

[roaldarbol]

Hehe, I kinda figured - if you never ask you’ll never know.😜

Consider using magicgui, which napari uses. Will make it easier to potentially implement a plugin structure and make individual components available in Jupyter Notebooks as well. Super interesting.
