For a school project I need to make a simple python program. I need ideas so if you have something that you want made for you then please post it here. I’ll release it here under a gnu general public license once I’ve finished.

    You can build an RSS scraper that posts news from multiple sources to Lemmy. RSS is very well documented and you can use pythorhead to interact with Lemmy.

    Alternately, you can scrape data from a currency exchange site and live display their data on your GUI. Trying to scrape sites teaches you a lot of things about how to approach it. You can make use of beautifulsoup library to sort out from the whole site.

      there’s a pretty wild range there from fairly easy to make in a few hours to massive community effort over several decades

      The asci video player would be cool. I don’t need to go to my web browser to watch youtube, I could do it in the terminal! terminal spotify client also seams cool, although I wouldn’t know where to start with that. I could just make an mp3 player, it would align with my idea of privacy. What do you mean by ebook converter? does it convert physical book pages to ebooks? i’m slightly confused.

      Also I love the cli based ideas we need more cli apps.

    I have a shell script I wrote I call tdiff. If you enter a number it takes it as the number of days and then tells you the date and the day of the week in that number of days. If you enter a date, it tells you how many days until that date.
