> The purpose of AnyGui project was (development stopped in 2002) to create a generic access API to different types of GUI libraries found to work with Python. The name is inspired by the standard Python module anydbm, which provides generic access to DBM-style databases.

Without an extensive "related work" section this is just navel-gazing.



They aren’t the same thing at all. This isn’t trying to be a framework, it’s simply a lexicon.


So it's even less useful? Apologies for the snark.

I'm actually in favor of the general idea. And these folks seem like they might know a thing or two: https://www.w3.org/community/wicg/participants

I would be way more impressed though if there was a nice "related work" section.
