Bday Reminder

Very basic app that reminds you of the birthdays of people you care about. The people data can be stored and modified in a simple CSV file.

Description

If you're thinking about quitting your Facebook or LinkedIn account but you still want to be reminded of your friend’s birthdays then you should have a look at this little app. Follow the examples in the people.csv file and populate it with your friend’s personal data, most importantly names and birthdays. The app generates an HTML file with the 3 closest birthdays. If a birthday is within the reminder distance, the default browser will pop up and show the created file.

Getting Started

Dependencies

  • Python 3.9
  • No additional Python libraries are needed
  • Tested on Windows Server 2016 & Windows 10

Installing

  • Fork/Download the project
  • Add data to the people.csv file
  • In the app.py file you’ll find the constant reminderDistance = 3 which defines the number of days within which you would like to be reminded of a birthday. It refers basically to the absolute distance in days between today and whatever birthday.

Executing program

  • Run the app.py file
  • Use a scheduler to execute once a day or similar
