Minimal Time Management App

Dhruv Anand — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 13:13:09 +0000

Being a high-school student and having everything online, it gets quiet difficult to manage time and get tasks done.
So, I did some research and got to know about a technique called Pomodoro.

And I started looking for a good Pomodoro Timer app but did not find any good app. Either they were paid or lacked a few features.

So, I made myself my own Pomodoro Timer app. It is very minimal.
It is built using ElectronJS & JavaScript.

I would love to share the app with you guys and receive your feedback.

Check out the App on GitHub and download it and even give it a Star.

I am a High-School Student and I have trouble managing my time and getting things done.
I came across a technique called Pomodoro.
So, I started looking around for a good Pomodoro app but none satisfied me.

So, I developed my own Pomodoro App which is minimal and easy to use.

It would really be appreciated if you could have a look at it

Python Tkinter Standalone Application

Dhruv Anand — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 04:35:31 +0000

If any one has made a TKinter application and wants to convert it to an executable, here's how you can do it.

For this, we will be using Pyinstaller

Installing `Pyinstaller`

pip install pyinstaller

Converting to Executable

Once you have installed Pyinstaller, there is just one more step remaining.

Locate to the directory where your .py file is located. (The Python program you want to convert to application)
Open the Command Prompt in that directory.
- Quick Tip: in the File Explorer, click on the Address Bar and type cmd to open the Command Prompt in that directory.
After that, type this command in the Command Prompt pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=<your-icon.ico> <file.py>

Explaining the command:

pyinstaller : To bundle the Python application and all its dependencies into a single package.
--onefile : To have just one Executable file.
--windowed : This will not open the Terminal every time you run the app.
icon : Set the icon of the app.
Write the name of your file to be converted to an Executable.

If this helped you, you can follow me on GitHub and have a look at my projects and star them.

Trying to get my head into DSA as a 15 year old...

I have started to learn Data Structures & Algorithms using Python.

Is there any advice for me that I should follow so that I do not give up.

I am really passionate about computers and programming, so I'd love to hear all of your suggestions.
