cookiecutter-python-gui-application's Issues

So sorry to reach out to you through here!

Unfortunately github doesn't have messages so I hope this is okay.

I am looking for anyone who has shown recent interest in PyQt5.

Me and a couple of other people are working on a productivity tool using PyQt5. Our goal is to create something that hundreds of people would find useful. The whole thing uses PyQt5 so it has been challenging to find devs that know how to use it. Check it out, if you are interested, we need all the help we can get. This could be a good opportunity to learn something new :)

Initial Update

The bot created this issue to inform you that pyup.io has been set up on this repo.
Once you have closed it, the bot will open pull requests for updates as soon as they are available.

PySimpleGUI support

Was PySimpleGUI support removed at some point? I see it appears in some parts of the code but was taken out of the README.
