Show HN: A GUI for Google App Engine

TLDR - A GAE Launcher replacement with some improvements

Since I’m not a ‘Professional’ developer and I hate playing around in Command Line (Terminal), Google App Engine Launcher was a life saver. Go to a UI and see all my projects in a table. Select a Project and click a button to run it, view the logs, deploy to Production. I didn’t have to muck around with command line arguments to remember the different commands and/or flags needed to run my projects. GAE Launcher helped me talk to non-expert programmers about learning to code and building Apps. Once, I bought a laptop for someone who had just gotten into college and as as a way of encouraging (making it easier) this person to learn to code, I pre-installed Python & GAE Launcher on the laptop.

Then Google stopped supporting GAE Launcher. I kept my installed version and used it till last year when it was ‘effectively’ killed (you can no longer use it to deploy to Production). I switched to gcloud but I had all of my earlier listed problems.

I decided to build a replacement. I get to solve my own problem and learn new stuff (Electron, Vue, etc). I also get to change a few functionalities I didn’t like in the original tool e.g. typing in flags in a textbook has been replaced with checkboxes on the UI
