GpgFrontend's architecture and design are not easy for beginners, especially for
developers who are not familiar with C++, Qt, and multithreading. I was
struggling hard for these in the past few years as well. An AI-assisted
Wiki has been created through
analysis of the GpgFrontend source code. This Wiki offers a comprehensive
overview of the project’s technical architecture, design principles, and major
components. I'd checked it and I would say that it can be of great help.
