I’m working on a simple app that logs Karting activity and data. My son has been karting for a year or so, and there is so much data to collect - times, pressures, sprocket set up, track location, weather and more (about 30 datapoints a session)

Collecting the data helps with recording engine performance, tyre ages, best lap times but is also really useful for recalling how well each setup performed for future reference.

I’m deliberately doing this all in a very low-tech way as my son will be creating a more polished version for a school project. We’re front-running that a bit to give him a good dataset and explore various ideas.

On that note, they do Python in school. For the backend it will be SqlLite and Flask. Any suggestions for the front end tech? This will mostly be forms- and grids-based so nothing sophisticated needed, but some simple client-side logic (e.g. validation, geolocation, simple stop watch) would be good. Ideally this would be python as well. We could use WebAssembly but am wondering if there is a suitable framework that does the is out-of-the-box.
