Launch Engineering for Desktop Software built using Python & Qt.
You've got something working. A Python application that works in your lab or on your machine. It solves a real problem and is ready to be used by other users. But going from a prototype to a product is a big step.
Now, you need to think about:
- Packaging & distribution, cross-platform macOS, Windows & Linux
- Installer design and testing, validation
- Security management, certificates and passing Virus Scanner checks
- UI polish that makes your users want to use your app
- Functional update mechanism
- Error tracking & diagnosis
That's a lot to learn just to get your software out there.
With Launch Window I provide custom launch engineering services, specifically tailored for teams looking to take their Python applications from the lab workbench to market.
I'll save you time & headaches, and let you keep focus on the things you're good at.
