Show HN: Practical Python Projects book release Hi everyone! I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://ift.tt/3sOUsdt) I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end) This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it. There are no tests for these projects as they are really small and teach you how to glue different pieces together. Some projects that we will be making A Twilio bot that keeps you updated with the latest match scores from the FIFA World Cup A Facebook Messenger bot the shares latest memes, jokes, and shower-thoughts scraped from Reddit An automated invoice generator and deploying it using Flask Making automated cinema-preshow by downloading and stitching together related movie trailers using moviepy Generating automated article summaries and overlaying them on top of images Understanding and decoding JPEG images using vanilla Python Creating a GUI application using PyQt for downloading online videos Implementing a TUI email client that allows reading emails in the terminal The first 50 people can use the "hn-love" coupon (without the quotation marks) to get 15% off. I am also offering a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy if you don't enjoy this book and don't learn anything new. You can buy the book from https://ift.tt/3sOUsdt You can get a free sample chapter from here: https://ift.tt/3bXnrFc You can learn more about my writing style by reading any of my recent articles over at https://yasoob.me (For detailed FAQ, you can head over to the book website: https://ift.tt/3sOUsdt) March 5, 2021 at 12:58AM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
