The desktop app

The desktop app is a native PyQt5 application for macOS, Windows and Linux over the same core. A crawl started in the terminal or by an agent shows up in the window, and the other way round.

Install with the core
The app lives in desktop/ and installs together with the core.
bash
```
python -m pip install -e ".[all]" -e desktop
seohead-desktop --project /path/to/existing/project
```
Crawl without a project
Enter a URL and press Start; save the result as a project later.
Installers
macOS .pkg, Windows setup and a Linux tarball put the app and the seohead command on the machine together.
Licence
The core is MIT. The desktop app is GPL-3.0-or-later, as required by PyQt5.
