pytoil VS ELDonationTracker

I've been working on pytoil for a while now and it's in a pretty good place so I thought I'd share it on here and hopefully some of you might use it and enjoy it (I use it every day!).

The repo is here if you need more context: https://github.com/FollowTheProcess/pytoil

https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker depends on

http://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/ - for tracking donations to Extra Life and displaying when Live Streaming

Python - it’s my main language and the one in which I’m most proficient. I have written some programs used by many others (like my Extra Life Donation Tracker) and utilities that solve some problem I have (like my btrfs snapshot and backup program). By solving each problem in Python first, I allow myself to focus on the problem first instead of a syntax I’m unfamiliar with.

If you want to move to GUI programs, I recommend : Qt5 Python GUI Programming Cookbook. Using QT Designer you can GUI programs pretty quickly. I used this book to create the GUI for my Extra Life project: http://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/

not sure if this is going beyond automation, but my most complex Python program which is actually used by other folks is for generating Donation Alerts while Live-Streaming to Twitch (or wherever) - http://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/

I use JSON and a dataclass (not a literal dataclass w/ the decorator and all). See ParticipantConf class starting line 103 https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker/blob/master/eldonationtracker/utils/extralife_io.py

In my project, here are the files that QT Designer saves: https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker/tree/master/QTdesignerfiles

I wanted to be able to use the Donation API when doing the Extra Life fundraiser, so I made: https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker

I'm using it for my program as well. It's really awesome, especially if you use qt designer. https://github.com/djotaku/ELDonationTracker
