Kivy Live

Description:

Simply put, this little app is developed to speedup the design/development of kivy applications by allowing you to create the frontend of your app while simulteneously viewing your results.

This project started when I simply got tired of having to code, go_to_the_terminal and run the whole app when in reality, Im simply just designing the app in the first place. As such, I wanted a way to be able to see where Im at in the design while designing the app hence where this program came in.

Credits

Most of the code in this app is taken from the kivy examples folder, so thank you guys for that.

Installation

In the root of this project is a directory titled releases. In that folder you can find two files: \

  • kivylive.exe - This is the windows standalone program for kivylive. Download that if you are on windows then simply double click to fire it up. No Installation Required
  • kivylive.tar.gz - This is the linux version of the program, compiled using Ubuntu 18.04. Download the archive and extract it.
    You should get a folder titled kivylive
    cd into that folder and simply run ./install.sh
    That's it, now you can launch the program from your Application list.

TODO

  • Support Python files
  • Allow Duplicate Files in different locations
  • Add a visual builder
  • Create binaries for macOS
  • Create android app
  • think of more things to add ;)
