Blindfold chess for chess enthusiastic who is, well, going blind
If you are looking for a weaker opponent (Stockfish 14, even at depth 1 isn't a walk in the park for a start) I did a little tournament between a bunch of not-top engines and found that Lucas Chess's acqua engine is the weaker I could find (and the engine file can be found on the software folder).

My Elo is 820, I want to break 1000, any tips?
Alternatively, The Soviet Chess Primer by Ilya Maizelis. This was Karpov's and Kasparov's first chess book and ton of strong players still recommend it. This deals with from the absolute ground up and I think should get you to at least a thousand. If you are going to use this, however, make sure you supplement it with either puzzle books or puzzle programs. I really like Lucas Chess for this purpose.

Engine for human like endgame training in 2021
Are any of the Maia bots good for this? With Lucas Chess (free, download) you can play the Maia bots from any position, I think.
-
A lightweight offline Steam game with lessons and challenges?
Try Lucas Chess or look through this list for more.

Lucas Chess now available on Linux!!!
Appears to be GPLv3 https://github.com/lukasmonk/lucaschessR

Is there a free website/software that allows users to create diagrams for chess books, free to use for commercial purposes?
Lucas Chess lets you save diagrams as images. Scid Vs PC lets you export HTML, LaTeX, etc. I haven't tried it but if it works, this is probably the most customizable option.
-
Any mobile app recommendations (or even modern PC apps) similar to Chessmaster in useability, capability and variety?
FuzzyExit linked this one, which seems to have some really cool features you might take inspiration from: https://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/
- pc offline chess apps?

PC app suggestion
Lucas Chess and Deep Shredder would be my recommendations. You can load and play all sorts of engines in Lucas Chess, so once you find the perfect engine out there for your Dad you can just set that as the default everytime.

Shoes makes building little graphical programs for Mac, Windows, Linux simple
Just a heads up: PySimpleGUI 5 isn't open source any more [0], and the official GitHub repo was replaced with a stub [1]. From the blog post, it sounds like the people behind it will probably remove the FOSS version from PyPI soon.
It's possible the community will fork it with a version of PySimpleGUI 4 that's still kicking around, but I haven't seen one yet.

PySimpleGUI 4 will be sunsetted in Q2 2024
Their old CONTRIBUTING file <https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/blob/1fa911cafee6...> said:
> Pull requests are not being accepted for the project. This includes sending code changes via other means than "pull requests". Plainly put, code you send will not be used.
> I don't mean to be ugly. This isn't personal. Heck, I don't know "you",the reader personally. It's not about ego. It's complicated. The result is that it allows me to dedicate my life to this project. It's what's required, for whatever reason, for me to do this. That's the best explanation I have. I love and respect the users of this work.
It's obvious in hindsight that those reasons were a bald-faced lie, and the real reason was exactly that he could legally do this rug pull.

From https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/issues/142
> 2023 is going to be the "Make or Break" year. I ultimately need to determine if the project is going to continue. To date, it's nowhere near sustainable. The income doesn't cover the cost of the project, meaning that it's not only unable to allow me to pay for my cost of living, but I continue to rack up debt, borrowing money, to keep the project functional.
> This isn't new information if you've followed the over 1,200 announcements I've made since Sept 2018. The data is available should you wish to look at the GitHub Sponsorships and do the simple math required to calculate income from Udemy. It would be great for the project to keep going. I'm hopeful, but more than hope's required to keep the project going.
So if you like this project and want to see it around in the future, please support it.

Advice on best way to build the following windows application?
The psutil package makes getting a list of running programs not very difficult. There's an example demo program that polls once a second and displays the top process using CPU time. You could use it as a starting point perhaps.

NiceGUI – easy-to-use, Python-based UI framework
How does it compare with remi? https://github.com/rawpython/remi
Looking at the examples, for quick UIs, REMI seems simpler. And PySimpleGUI (https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI) offers REMI as a backend to deploy on web too (PySimpleGUI is pretty simple to learn).
