TM users can download the source code with the .bat files, and simply run the batch scripts
this is much much simpler than the whole web app thing with flask
it's worth serious consideration
This is a good idea. One of my big concerns with the web gui interface was that it never seemed like it would make for good UX no matter how good the UI could be done. In the scheme of trying to attract more users to what is now a bit of a "clunky" site that was a bit of an issue. Now instead of trying to spin up a server it's literally just clicking an icon.
i have the POC for this ready so will probably polish it then send it for review some time tomorrow
basically, as a user, you just need to:
1) download python
2) download the source code of this repo
3) change some settings in a text-based configuration file, such as thread url, username, pw, etc...
4) click on a .bat file to run a specific feature of donbot
