Cool. :) As a general thought for "making it more presentable", it's probably a good idea to embed a screenshot right into the front page README. Just from the point of view that "when things look attractive, people are more inclined to check them out". (Yeah, it's a super generalisation, but it seems to hold true). As an example, we have a screenshot as nearly the first element people can see: https://github.com/sql…

Oh hey!! I use sqlitebrowser quite often! Thanks for you know making it exist and all.

Thank you for your comment. I already link the Readme towards screenshots and installation file due to other remarks of users.

Yeah, my point is just to have the screenshot "right there" (embedded in the README) so it's nearly the first thing people see. :)

When people need to click on links to see the screenshot(s), it seems like a missed opportunity. ;)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm aware, that the code could be organised better. But keep in mind, that the program is not written by a professional. It's intended as an example for integration python with a database system for the community and i am convinced that the program helds many aspects as a learning purpose for instance integrating graphs. And screenshots by the way are available in the project at https://github.com/DirkJanJansen/Pando…

The problem is that if you are putting this out there for purposes of education, it should use best practices, and it clearly doesn't here. I suggest that you significantly refactor this code. I believe that it can become much better with more modularization, more clearly explaining some aspects of the code and better project structuring.

>The problem is that if you are putting this out there for purposes of education, it should use best practices

There's a French saying that goes "C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron" (it is by "black-smithing" that one becomes a black-smith).

One way to discover best practices is by putting things out in the open and receiving benevolent feedback on how to do it better.

The code will improve as the author reads more about best practices to apply on a real project they have shared with the comunity, and a benevolent comunity submitting issues and pull requests.

Here's the link to create an issue in that repo:

Agreed, but that doesn't detract much from the achievement. A few screenshots would be nice, though.

The screenshots are available look: https://github.com/DirkJanJansen/Pandora/tree/master/Install...

Are you sure you want your address out there?
