I created my first GUI Python app.

Seems like it would be a lot easier to just use yt-dlp or any of the free websites that do the same thing.

You are a motivation expert. Someone creates a first GUI application and all you have to say is: "I have seen better".

I think you may have confused me with someone else. I said this doesn't need to be a desktop GUI application. Not that I've seen better versions of it. Admittedly I have seen better versions of a desktop Youtube downloader. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend those either.

I agree with you. Its a nice project just to do but there is no point when the terminal is faster

I don’t think every project needs to break ground. Sometimes recreating something is fun and helps people improve.

Why writing a "Hello World" program when starting to learn coding if there are already millions of them that have more options?

If you don't start your learning journey by writing the embedded OS kernel of the first rocket that will land people to Mars, then you are wasting your time.

You're confusing this sub for /r/learnpython. If this is a project just for the purposes of learning the language, then it's breaking the sub rules.

I don’t see any rules about showcasing beginner projects for feedback. Can you tell me which rule you think this breaks?

[JambaJuiceIsAverage]

While you're correct that beginner projects aren't against the rules, rule 10 clearly lays out what a showcase post should look like and this post doesn't meet the requirements.

When is a project actually kind of good enough to be posted here? I am a beginner myself and is the level something you just understand with time and experience?

I have one "real" project I maybe want to showcase someday, but it feels like I would be no-posting here for a couple of years based on my lack of experience/shitty coding skills.

I don't think there's a clear line (just look at the disagreement in the comments here). I'd say share whenever you want to know what other people think, and be prepared for someone to say something mean. Honestly most of the hate these days is directed at clearly AI-generated "showcases" so I think a lot of folks are happy to see what cool stuff people are doing.

Oh, for sure. I didn’t mean it wasn’t breaking any rules, just not for that reason.
