## What it is
Wooey is a Django app that automatically generates a web UI and task interface for command-line Python scripts using argparse. It lets teams share scripts through a browser so non-technical users can run data analysis and file-processing jobs without the command line.

## Use cases
- turn python scripts into a web ui
- let non-technical coworkers run scripts from a browser
- build a web gui for argparse scripts
- share data analysis workflows with a team
- wrap command line tools in a simple web interface
- autodocument data analysis pipelines

## When to choose
- you have existing argparse-based Python scripts and want a web front end without writing one
- your users are uncomfortable with the command line
- you want a self-hosted, script-driven alternative to workflow tools like Galaxy

## When to avoid
- you need a full workflow engine with complex DAG dependencies
- your scripts are not Python or do not use argparse-style argument definitions
- you need a polished public-facing product UI rather than an internal tool
