Comment on Do any of you use productivity software (kanbans, scrum, etc)? How do you stay productive and organized? in ~talk

The one for work, a web scraper to scrape html pages, convert any links and or keywords on each page to Markdown and then save them as .md files.
The second for my wife, is a custom inventory application to log items for her commercial kitchen.
I am a very beginner amateur programmer. Any recommendations welcomed.
