# 15 Minute Apps
A collection of 15 small — *minute* — desktop applications written in Python
using the PyQt framework. These apps are intended as examples from
which you can poke, hack and prod your way to writing your own tools.
## Want to build your own apps?
> If you think these apps are neat and want to learn more about
PyQt in general, [take a look at my ebook & online course
"Create Simple GUI Applications"](https://martinfitzpatrick.name/create-simple-gui-applications)
which covers everything you need to know to start building your own applications with PyQt.
You can also find more PyQt articles, tutorials and projects
[on my website](http://martinfitzpatrick.name/tag/pyqt).
## The apps
1. [Web Browser (untabbed)](browser/) - "MooseAche"
1. [Web Browser (tabbed)](browser_tabbed/) - "Mozzarella Ashbadger"

## Getting started
To use each app you first need to install the requirements. In most cases
the only requirements are PyQt5, and occasionally requests. To install
app-specific requirements change to the folder of the app and run:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Once the requirements are installed, you can run the app using Python 3.
python3 <filename>.py
The application window should appear.
## License
All code is **licensed under an MIT license**. This allows you to re-use the code freely,
remixed in both commercial and non-commercial projects. The only requirement is to
include the same license when distributing.
## Other licenses
