Minimal Typing Practice Application in Python

✇Krishna

Introduction

This is a Python-based single-file application designed for typing practice. It provides a simple interface to improve typing accuracy and speed. Over time, this minimal program has gradually increased my typing skill.

What I Learned from This Project

  • 2D Array Validation
    I first simply used a 1D array to store user input, but I noticed some issues. After implementing a 2D array, I understood why the 2D array was more appropriate for handling user inputs.
  • Tkinter
    I wanted to visually see and update correct, wrong, and incomplete typing inputs, but I didn’t know how to implement it in the terminal. So, I used a simple Tkinter gui window

Run This Program

It depends on the following applications:

  • Python 3
  • python3-tk

Installation Command on Debian-Based Systems

sudo apt install python3 python3-tk

Build a Product Rental App in Node.js

✇Krishna

Introduction

I created a website called Vinmeen that allows users to rent products for temporary needs at a low cost. The goal was to design a simple UI for users to easily rent things they need temporarily.

Technologies Used

  • Node.js & Express
  • Node Packages
    • Express
    • EJS
    • Nodemailer
    • Bcrypt
    • Multer
    • Sync-SQL
    • MySQL
  • MySQL

What I Learned from This Project

This project helped me understand how dynamic websites work and how template rendering is done. I used EJS for rendering templates, MySQL for database handling, and Bcrypt for securely storing user passwords through hashing. I also learned how to send email notifications with OTP and rent requests, among other things.

Hosting

I hosted the site using two different services

Website Hosting – Render.com

Render provides free hosting for experimentation and student projects. This plan has minimal resources, but it’s great for learning and testing.

MySQL Database – Filess.io:

Files.io offers a free MySQL database with a 10MB size limit and a maximum of 5 concurrent connections. It’s ideal for students and self-study projects, but not recommended for startups or businesses.
