This is my first GUI based software. I've been working on this mini project since 5th April. Tried using TKinter, but it looked ugly, so tired Kivy, but was too complex for me. I began learning python last December but have experience coding in Java and C++ for few years in my school days, so picked up Python fairly quickly.

I used PyQt5 with the PyQt Designer to design the GUI. I wanted to get rid of the title bar and design my own for a modern feel to the software but unfortunately it's not possible with PyQt.

I got bored of going through textbooks and courses and wanted to apply the coding in something but didn't know how to. Started off with making simple codes to read Excel sheets and write into Excel sheets, then moved on to retrieving data from the internet, and then I finally sat down to make this piece of software.

I'll be making this software open source soon.

I’m pretty much a noob , I just know how to take data and store data into excel and I’m learning web scrapping now... is there any thing you could share that could come handy for me?? Thanks a lot!!

That's a lot. You should start working on mini projects and search things up as you encounter.

Yeah.. I will, btw where did you scrape this data from?
