iCode
Information
Development And Usage
This desktop application was created using PyQt5's built in GUI framework. The app tracks the amount of time the user spends coding, sends this data to an external linux server, which then reports this data through email back to the user every Monday. I created this application to monitor the amount of time I spend coding and to ensure I'm steadily improving my programming skills amongst my busy schedule. Once the packages are installed and "iCode.py" is first luanched, the user will be brought to an account setup and email verification page; verification is required for every user's first launch. Then, once verified, the user should follow the instructions indicated in the application. Once the verification and setup processes are completed the user does not need to touch anything further and the program will track the amount of coding they are doing independantly from startup. Note: the software requires a functional camera.
Programming
This program uses PyQt5's GUI development software, open cv's facial recognition algorithm to detect productivity, in addition to python 3's networking socket library and os library -used to monitor the active tab on the monitor.
Features
This application tracks the amount of hours and minutes the user spends programming by keeping track of the amount of time the user is active in Visual Studio Code and looking at the monitor (while the camera can detect the users face).
