steemdesktop
steemdesktop is a new QT5 python app that allows it to check the current state of an steem account. This release is a first step in which I'm learning how to use pyQt5. I will add more useful features. At the moment only an installer for windows is available download link.
I will setup a CI and build installer also for OSX and linux for the next relase.
Installing steemdesktop
Running steemdesktop
After starting steemdesktop, a steem user name can be set:
When auto refresh is enabled, the account information are updated every 5 seconds.
The steem name and the auto refresh box is stored and load on start.
It is also possible to view account information about drugwars:
Just press the Show drugwars stats button and wait. During waiting a notification is shown:
Technology Stack
steemdesktop uses pyQt5 and the great fman build system which allows it to build Python GUIs for linux / macos / windows with pyQt5.
Roadmap
At the moment the desktop app is on a very basic level. I'm planing to add step by step new features.
I will explore how to create installer for linux / macos / windows using CI. Possible new features:
- store account history in a file for faster acccess
- show information about a steem post (votes and curation)
- stream the blockchain and notify on account related events
- Add more bookkeeping stats
- Improve the layout
- show steem-engine token
- Add a wallet
- Unlock the internally used beem wallet and allow to send token/steem
