Has anyone in the community every tried to develop a GUI front-end for Backtrader?

I am new to Backtrader, but have gotten my first strategy running in simulation mode successfully. I plan to add some sizing modules from a book I wrote on Position Sizing and have a few other ideas for the platform. I'm also looking to help a partner with his trader education school. To do that, Backtrader would need an easy-to-use GUI (Graphic User Interface) so that students without programming experience could experiment with various strategies, sizing approaches, portfolios, stop loss ideas, etc. and learn how they affect historical performance.

@Tom-Basso It is a good idea,if yu can develop a GUI,which have a high speed.maybe you should use C++ or C#.

@tianjixuetu Have you ever programmed in CSS which I hear is used for cloud based pretty GUIs?

Jupyter lab is a pretty good enviroment to run experiments and see visual results. For a training enviroment it also allows for you to pose questions but predo any boilerplate like data loading that is not showing concepts your trying to teach.
