Cool project, but I think for my specific use case, something really simple is more what I needed; just choose a folder and click convert.
Perhaps my title wasn't very clear on that? :)

Good question! For context, this project came about when someone in HR at my work asked if I knew of a way to batch convert Word to PDF. The HR rep isn't comfortable using the cli, so I pandoc was not the right solution.
I do know that there are online conversion tools that use pandoc as a backend, but we needed something offline due to the sensitivity of HR documents.
If there are any GUI alternatives out there that are more mature than mine, please let me know!
