Inspiration:
Everybody gets stressed. Everybody needs a break. Everybody loves doggos. I looked at cute pictures of puppies to combat stress once which seemed to work really well in destressing me. I also remember hearing one of my teachers telling me that the average attention span is around 45 minutes. Thus, I came up with the idea to make a program that tells you to take a break every 45 minutes and shows you pictures of puppies to calm yourself and relax, and Loosen Pup was born.
What Loosen Pup is:
Loosen Pup is a Python program which reminds you to take a break every 45 minutes and help de-stress (loosen up) with pictures of dogs randomly generated. This is especially helpful for online classes where our eyes need rest every 45 minutes or so. Additionally, as mentioned above, the average attention span of young adults is about 45 minutes, after which you understand little subject matter/information.
How Loosen Pup was Built:
Loosen Pup uses the Dog API through the random-dog python package. This large database practically guarantees a new doggo pic every time. It also uses the time package to remind you every 45 minutes to take a break, and the os package to delete the previous image (to avoid cluttering your desktop).
