Recently, I built two projects, just because I wanted to give people the info they need: news.
Dinkus was the first one. It is a MacOS RSS feed aggregator, and it gives updates—not only for news—but also for other website updates. It is particularly interesting because it appears on the system tray—which I thought was quite unique, until I figured out there were many other instances of this.
Unsatisfied, I came up with The Olden Gazette, a novel news aggregator that pulls from BBC RSS, the NewsData API, and many other sources. It provides weather, breaking news, articles and the date. It is all black-and-white, and it is vintage, which is the point. Less screamy, loud and cramped, more real news.
These two projects taught me how to better use many frameworks, especially Rumps and Flask, and they really improved my coding style: in The Olden Gazette, I began splitting the project into files, which I didn't really do previously. This may seem silly, because no one doesn't split the code, but I learned this. Late.
That's really it... I hope these tools are nice little gems.
