Year of Code 2025: January Project Sharing

Hi everyone and welcome to the first month of the 2025 Year of Code! As mentioned in the January blog post, this is the topic to share your January project, which has the theme of Desktop app.

I’ll start things off with my project which is an updated version of XojoText that adds some extra features.

I’ve posted it to GitHub where you can review the readme and download it.

I can’t wait to see your creations!

Electricity price is something I check a few times a day… at what time is cheaper to schedule the dishwasher?

I already purchased an iOS app, but life is too short to leave my keyboard just to check my mobile, so when I saw the January theme, I felt that I needed a desktop app for that.

The GUI is just a few standard Xojo controls. To save some bandwidth and be nice with the API provider, the app caches the responses as soon as they arrive in a Dictionary.

Now that I can grab the data, my end goal is to convert this app into a little dashboard I can place in the fridge, using a Raspberry Pi and the spare e-ink display I have around :upside_down_face:

The code repository can be found here:

I’m looking forward to see your January projects, and also to see what @Paul_Lefebvre has prepared for us for the February project :slight_smile:
