microkeys VS py-healthchecks.io

I wrote MicroKeys[1] out of a similar frustration. Granted, I never got past the POC stage, so it's not as feature rich as AHK, but it solved a very specific itch I had. I debate if I should flesh it out further, or try using AHK again.

And with a little bit of coercing, it can be used the other way: To embed Python in Desktop apps giving you a fairly light-weight Python interpreter.

I used it for a little Windows macro program ( https://github.com/seligman/microkeys ) . I got it to a POC stage to solve the precise problem I have, basically I needed to be able to do some simple text parsing on whatever's in the clipboard and type out the results, so I'm happy. I'm always curious if it potentially fills a need for others as well.

I'll join in:

I'm building a tool called MicroKeys. It's a macro program, for Windows right now. It uses MicroPython as the script engine to let you register hot keys that do things. It's very much a work in progress right now.

I'm writing it to fill a very specific niche I have, but if it's useful to others, I'd love to hear feedback on what it could do to be better to help it come to fruition.

I'll be working to progress MicroKeys, my Windows MicroPython based macro program. It's ready for others to play with, if barely, but I do need to work on how it handles exceptions, and improve the debugging experience a bit.

I'll be working on progressing my MicroKeys project, a way to create macros for Windows and declare them using Python.

For a while I've been working on a little pet project, MicroKeys. It's a Windows app that embeds MicroPython, allowing the user to create macros that run Python functions in response to keys. The GIF on the readme shows the basic idea, when I hit Alt-Z, it runs the function and types out the result.

Here's an example repo of mine https://github.com/andrewthetechie/py-healthchecks.io. One cool bit in there is using poetry-dynamic-versioning to version my package based on git tags and to set a version variable in my code.

and Done - https://github.com/andrewthetechie/py-healthchecks.io/releases/tag/v0.2.0

This is pretty cool. I just released my first version of https://github.com/andrewthetechie/py-healthchecks.io a few days ago that's also healthchecks.io related, but more for managing checks via the api.
