# PyMeshCore GUI
|
|
|
|
**PyMeshCore GUI** is an open-source desktop application for interacting with the MeshCore network.
|
|
It focuses on **chatting, prototyping, and development** on top of MeshCore, with an emphasis on
|
|
desktop workflows and developer accessibility.
|
|
|
|
The project is built using **PySide6 (Qt for Python)** and **meshcore-py**.
|
|
|
|
This is an early, experimental release.
|
|

|
## Motivation
|
|
|
|
MeshCore provides powerful mesh networking capabilities, but existing clients are closed source.
|
|
PyMeshCore GUI aims to explore what an **open, extensible desktop client** can look like, while also
|
|
serving as a platform for experimentation and future development.
|
|
|
|
The long-term vision is a **full Qt-based stack**, potentially including a native C++ core
|
|
(`QMeshCore`) with a clean GUI layered on top.
