Use flask to create a desktop GUI

Project description

silly-gui-icon

Flask for desktop

Build a desktop application with flask. All you need is to add the provided file, and Silly gui in your dependencies

How it works in a few words

Basicaly, when the app is launched, silly-gui runs the flask server alongside a desktop window and/or the main browser of the user's system.

The user's experience is similar with an 'electron' application, but there, it is python inside instead of JS.

How to do it

1. Code your flask app as usual

2. Installation

pip install flask-fd

3. get a converter file

For the simpliest version:

flask-fd plop 1

or for a more customizable and fancy interface (the best choice)

flask-fd plop 2

or just running the app in the default web browser

flask-fd plop 3

The file appear in your current working directory. Fill the parameters in the given file.

4. launch the app

Execute the provided file, you'll see you flask app wrapped in a pretty Gtk interface

5. get an installer (for linux)

This if you want to integrate your app in the system. The installer uses Geninstaller

flask-fd plop installer

Fill the parameters in the installer.
