#desky

Wrap your web app in a desktop window

###Why ?

• Making GUIs using web technology is immensely powerful
• Apps look nice (atleast to me) when they are not in a browser's tab
• Why Qt webkit ! Why not a simple chrome app wrapping ? : Not everyone uses chrome plus I am on KDE, so Qt comes naturally

###Usage

• pip install requirements
• Make desky_config.json using the sample in your project directory
  • url is the url of the web application or link to static html
  • cmd is the command desky will run to start the app e.g. python server.py
  • check_port is the port that the app is using, desky opens url only if this port is listening
  • name is the name of app
• Copy desky.py to project directory
• Run app using python desky.py
• Pack using python desky.py pack
• For upx compression use python desky.py packupx <upx-dir-path>
