3 years ago The Story of... looks cool! Thanks for sharing! 😀👍
Am excited to see your Code Challenge Progress Tracker too! Tkinter is truly old-school! If you're interested in thick-client development, I'd suggest something like Electron which uses web technologies but installs and runs as its own standalone app, outside of the browser. Still, excited to see your progress! Can't wait to see screenshots! 😄

@r002 Legacy code dictates that I use Tkinter.... ROFL I'm joking. I picked Tkinter because it's a standard Python module and I didn't want web dev stuff (read HTML/CSS/JS) to be another hurdle to getting some code out there. Python is my strongest language right now and the one that I want to build on (trying to keep the ball rolling). I was going for quick and dirty. But then my project ballooned anyway so it's not as quick and dirty, haha. Still, I think I can get to something functional a lot quicker with Tkinter than playing around with something that requires JS. In the future, I might build a web interface, idk. For now, I'm trying to limit complexity by sticking with Python. We'll see how it goes.
Electron looks really cool though and if my JS skills were up to par, I'd be tempted to switch. I have it noted in my book as something to explore. Fortunately, since I'm modularizing things, I'm not yet committed to Tkinter. It's just a design constraint that I came up with, not necessarily one that I'm locked into. I'm trying to stay as flexible as possible. Electron might have to be a future version thing. Haha
Motivation/Problem Statement 💭❓:
Practice Python skills by creating a Code Challange Progress Tracker.
Today's Goal/Solution 🥅:
Work on tracker project.
Result 🍓🍌🍉:
Refined some user stories that I wrote yesterday. I think they are mature enough to move to the next stage of the projcet.
Observations & Next Steps 🔭👣:
There's so much left to do. I have it written in my notebook.
References 🔗:
Link any useful resources you may have found throughout the day.
Extra/Fun (Optional) 🎈🎉🥳:
I watched the Vice series on The Story of... It was so good.
