For a school project I need to make a simple python program. I need ideas so if you have something that you want made for you then please post it here. I'll release it here under a gnu general public license once I've finished.

Sample mixer
Guitar tuner
Sheet music to tab converter

A posix compliant shell
Ascii video player (play youtube videos on the console using ascii)
Spotify client that runs in the terminal

there's a pretty wild range there from fairly easy to make in a few hours to massive community effort over several decades

The asci video player would be cool. I don't need to go to my web browser to watch youtube, I could do it in the terminal! terminal spotify client also seams cool, although I wouldn't know where to start with that. I could just make an mp3 player, it would align with my idea of privacy. What do you mean by ebook converter? does it convert physical book pages to ebooks? i'm slightly confused.

Also I love the cli based ideas we need more cli apps.

VLC can play video in the terminal like this:

vlc --vout=caca video

I was thinking converting from .mobi to .epub as .pdf is wild. Just some random ideas I have for side projects

does it convert physical book pages to ebooks?

I'm guessing it converts something like ePub to PDF. You could try to write in a way such that it becomes simple to add new formats.
