• Skittles Sorter

    I typically eat Skittles in a very specific and ordered way. Least favorite to favorite, one bite (2 Skittles) at a time. Why not build an app that can duplicate it?

    It was a bit harder than I expected, but was a good learning exercise.

  • Circuit Trainer

    I’ve been learning Python recently. I built a command line app to help with circuit workouts.

    It asks you to enter:

    • The exercises to be done.
    • The number of circuits.
    • The length of the break between circuits.
    • A minimum and maximum number of reps for each set.

    From there the program does the following:

    • Tells you each set to perform with the number of reps being a random selection within the minimum and maximum.
    • Gives you a countdown for each break.
    • Gives you a summary at the end. (Since I keep track of all my workouts, this allows me to easily copy and paste it into my notes.)
  • Free Throw Tracker

    1. We have a lot of extra time.
    2. We can’t go anywhere.
    3. I have a hoop in the driveway.

    That means it is time to work on my game. And since I’ll be playing alone I decided to work on my free throws.

    To keep track of my progress I built a no-code app using Glide Apps. It gives me an easy way to enter my makes and attempts, and keeps track of my overall progress.

    My goal is to get to 75%.
