I started learning python this year. On my code academy course I had a project to do, and wanted to make something more practical. In the example they had a list of five menus they could pull from in their interactive Python code. I thought that was a great idea because it was more practical, but I wanted to do something else.
I realized that a reminder maker would be really helpful for every day of the week because I was thinking about ways to remind myself of things as well as schedule them. So I went about figuring out how to do it.
import time
# Title for the email reminder maker. DON'T USE THE SAME TITLE NAME.

You have the option to add or remove reminders for every day of the
week.

Em Shed the way to make txts for reminder emails!
The first gif show how the user makes a reminder. They enter the fist three letters of the day. When the code running and it gets this prompt fulfilled, it runs a while loops that opens the txt file for that day and prints it to the terminal. Then the user gets to add their reminder and the loop prints the txt file again to the terminal.
Em Shed the way to remove reminders from a reminder txt as well!

Then the user types what line they want to remove the reminder from and the loop prints the txt file again to the terminal.
Python Email File for Monday.
After making the txt editor I found a way to email my self the reminder. I set up two step verification on my gmail account and added an app password for python. I then put the password I got from the app password for python in the password field and my email in the email fields in my python email sender file for each day.
Python clear and reformat file.
I next made a clear python file that opens each txt and reformats it to the way it was on the first day of the week.
To finish it all up I set up crontab to run my email files to send myself reminders for every day of the week. I also had it run the clear file to clear and reformat the file at the beginning of every week.

It was a fun project to do. I enjoyed making something that was more practical and something I can use in the future. I showed how to make txt files that you can email as reminders.
