Until now, used textbooks in my school were traded wildly - random posts with price lists on the Facebook group were commonplace, and the organization of the fair was always an overwhelming task.

Librus <3 Todoist - improving my daily school life

Because attendance in my school during COVID outbreak is mandatory and based on whether we read messages durning lessons, this script makes them read and syncs them to Todoist’s Inbox, the service that I use to manage my tasks. Then I can sometimes review them for tasks and mark as completed. This makes everything so much easier! Librus <3 Todoist Used technologies: Python, LibrusTricks, todoist-python.
