A GUI version of howdoi was written using PySimpleGUI. It runs on Windows and requires Python 3.
To install, use pip:
pip install pysimplegui-howdoi
To run the installed software
python -m pysimplegui-howdoi.pysimplegui-howdoi
The interface looks like this:
Type the query into the bottom portion of the window. The results are displayed in the top. You can highlight, copy and paste the responses. There is a history feature built-in so you can re-run queries. Use the arrow keys or mouse scroll-wheel to cycle through the history.
