Ever wished Windows had a built-in terminal-based text editor?
Or found yourself Googling “100 km/h in m/s” again mid-code?
I felt that pain too — so I built something about it.
Meet pytedit and unitmaster, two lightweight Python libraries designed to solve annoying little developer problems we often overlook but deal with daily.
🔧 pytedit: A Terminal Text Editor for Windows and Beyond
pytedit is a cross-platform terminal-based text editor that just works.
Windows users (like myself) don’t get native terminal editors like Vim or Nano out of the box. So pytedit fills that gap — clean UI, keyboard-friendly, and zero dependencies outside Python.
pip install pytedit
📐 unitmaster: A Dev-Focused Unit Conversion Library
We’ve all written quick one-liners or hit up Google to convert things like:
Fahrenheit to Celsius
km/h to m/s
bytes to megabytes
unitmaster puts all that inside Python with zero distractions. Just import and convert — no mental context switch.
pip install unitmaster
🌦 How I’m Using These in My Upcoming Weather Dashboard
One of my current projects is a terminal-based weather dashboard, and unitmaster is already powering all the conversions — temperature, windspeed, pressure — right in the terminal. The dashboard itself will be released later this week.

🌍 A Small Global Contribution to Open Source
These might seem like small tools, but I genuinely believe they reduce friction in the dev loop. That’s why I’m proud to call them my global contribution to the open-source Python ecosystem.
Made with care by me, along with two of my close friends who contributed throughout development.
If you find these tools useful, please consider giving them a star on GitHub or just spreading the word. Feedback and ideas are always welcome!
More coming soon. 🛠️
