Hi Savio,

The code is not that bad for a prototype, but GUIs in C are generally
unnecessarily difficult. The efficiency and performance of C is not
necessary for an administrative GUI. I suspect if you rewrite it in a
more high-level language such as Python or Ruby, you'll pay an
up-front rewrite cost but save yourself a lot of trouble with
maintenance and debugging in the long run, and learn a new language on
the way. It's certainly worth mastering C, but that should happen with
low level code, not brute-forcing arbitrary projects into C.

Best of luck in your development efforts!
