  RIP. Wish my program can help other Asian students.

About weeks ago, a Chinese student in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute passed away since he has to watch Zoom lectures very late at night due to the time lag. So I decided to build a program to help Asian students to automatically record the lectures so that we can sleep early and live a healthy live.

Then I used Kivy to build the GUI and used Pyautogui to build the automation part. It worked well.

There were a lot of challenged. First, it's Kivy. I spent a month to learn Kivy and built the GUI. Then the second challenge was how to control the computer to record the lecture. After researches, I found Pyautogui. So I spent another month to learn Pyautogui. After four months, I finished this program.

There's still a lot of things waiting for me. First, I need to make a Windows version since it only supports Mac. Second, I want to try to use computer vision to locate the buttons directly instead of record the coordinate by hand.
