Hello!

As per my PR #105, you can see that it's quite tedious to have Gnomecast run on Windows. You need to install around 1GB of libraries via MSYS2 to get things going and do some extra setup steps.

On the other hand, if the GTK library is replaced with a more friendly one like wxPython or PyQT (PySide2), then this wouldn't be an issue anymore.

Have you or are you considering something like this for the future?

I'd be interested in helping transition to PyQT if it were to be on the roadmap.

i have no personal interest in that as i prefer GTK to either of those two libs. but i would not begrudge a UI fork, and would be willing to break this project into backend/ui components to help facilitate that if that was of interest to others.
