    Honestly, I'm torn between whether or not to build this as a web app or Windows Desktop. I'm considering the latter because it could run successfully on my laptop inside the machine bay with minimal memory, on the other hand, completely web-based, which will keep me going running an apache server too for you to be an extra cost (until I'm hosting it on Google Cloud or somewhere, which is probably an option?) cps test The only reason to consider the web is that I plan to eventually make this device open source and with the web, many others might also find it useful (like OSX/Linux users). At that time I also remember expanding the database to include multi-user login, client login, etc. But we are going too far on this factor!

      Are you the same person that posted Help me decide what technology should I use[^] as it is remarkably similar? If so, please delete the duplicate account.

        What's an "era" in this context? And a "business Pin"? If you want this kind of flexibility, you should separate the GUI and server components of your application. You can then provide a GUI on various clients and run your server on various platforms. Which framework(s) are best for each component isn't something I can tell you, because I don't have much experience building these kinds of applications.

          Build using a technology familiar to you, and get a working solution ready. Then it can be ported to another technology with not much effort. Better to get something in hand rather than spend time endlessly in deciding which way to proceed.

              A web server can run locally. In fact, many devices use an "on board" web server to present an interface. This gets back to the proper definition of "requirements".

              "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
