Hey y'all! I decided that it's time to get back into programming. I took a pretty long break due to school, soccer, and business, so now that it's all calmed down, I decided that the best way to get back in the code game would be to learn more Python. I already completed a Codecademy course a while ago, so I am really comfortable with the basics. I also made a couple of Django projects in the past and a decent amount of Flask projects (enough to say that I'm comfortable with the language), so I thought: Why not just make a Python app? I decided to make a bunch of Python automation apps regarding my emails because I genuinely hate reading and using emails. I decided that I would make the basic functions like writing emails along with fetching them, but due to SimpleGmail's clear documentation, those two projects weren't that hard. I added my own parameters and stuff to make it more customizable and more fitting for what I need. I then decided to add on to it by incorporating other features like OpenAI and Google Sheets. I created a program that would fetch emails that fit my parameters and then list them in a brand-new Google Sheet that was in the folder that I shared with my service account. I used OpenAI's API to summarize emails because I hate having to read lengthy emails sent from school, and sometimes I just don't have the energy to read a long newsletter. I go very in-depth with the code and my reasoning on the GitHub Readme for the project.
Thanks for reading. Please comment any suggestions or critiques you have on the code; I would really appreciate it.
