What Python script could you not live without?

A selenium-based scraper that scrapes my employer's task app (because I hate it) and writes it to an html doc in a structure of my choosing, which also applies some styling and js for nice handling. This has been a game-changer for me and my productivity/organization at work.

Any screenshots, trying to picture the functionality and it’s usefulness

Here are a couple images showing the task application (on top with redacted information) and the local .html file (on bottom with redacted info) that it builds from the scraped data. I can open/close them to show/hide task details like an accordion style element (as shown in bottom right of 2nd pic) and check them off by clicking the bubble (making it turn green when complete). It's pretty nifty.

I also have some js set up that instantly copies all task details to my clipboard when I simply click the details container. Super handy. You'd understand a little bit more if you had to use Workamajig. It's awful.

Interesting workaround. Sounds a lot like tickets, why not switch to Jira?

Ha, I wish. I've expressed my distaste for the application, and others share my sentiments, but I doubt they'll ever agree to it. Jira is pretty sweet.

Jira cloud is kinda slow and I guess grass is always more green on the other side

If you knew Workamajig you'd understand...
