Hero image of our CMS that the bot interacts with.

An improvement on one of the first large class-based scripts I built that has saved our team countless hours of manual work over the last 2 years.

I added a GUI interface using a tkinter-esque library called PySimpleGUI which makes simple, functional GUI interfaces with minimal boilerplate. This allowed me to package the script as a working exe file and distribute it to other members of the team to increase productivity.

The simple interface built with PySimpleGUI with logging output behind.

If I had to build it again I would completely overhaul the structure and use a design pattern to make it more robust and scalable. I would also split it into multiple modules to create a clear separation of concerns between the GUI frontend and the commands to be issued to the bot class.
