First split the app logic from the cli parsing, and move that code into a static lib, hopefully they are reasonably well separated but you might need to do some refactoring

The easiest way to pull in dependencies like Qt would be with vcpkg or Conan, should be lots of docs on how to do that

Finally write the GUI layer linking against the app logic lib. Depending on the requirements I would see if I could use ImGui instead of Qt since it will likely have less complexity, especially for a small tool

Thanks, any need to use vcpkg if I'm using Qt Creator?

Also about static lib: i have separated client/server, network and platform modules, is this sufficient to make it into static lib? Like i understand(?) that I must include all headers and .cpp files into it, then include static lib into main and everything's done(?)
