Project 01 · LBS Daily Brief · in progress

What if you had a simple, deterministic way to plan your days at LBS?

An LBS day is spread across a timetable, Canvas, seating charts, prep readings & club events. I got tired of opening five tabs before breakfast, so I made one message that does it for me.

Focus: The use case

Illustrative day, real format

Step 1 of 5

An LBS day, as it actually looks.

A morning lecture, an afternoon class, a Career Centre session & a club BBQ. Four different systems know about four different bits of it.

Step 2 of 5

Three feeds, one brief.

The LBS Live Calendar for the timetable, Canvas for assignments & prep, Google Calendar for everything social. A Python composer merges them every morning & evening.

Step 3 of 5

It even plans your meals.

Early start? Prep breakfast tonight. Free 11:00–14:00? Lunch is all yours. A BBQ at 18:30 counts as dinner, not a clash.

Step 4 of 5

06:00 & 18:00, straight to your phone.

v1 was a Telegram bot running on GitHub Actions: no server, no cost, still sends when the laptop is off. Anyone in my class can fork it & run their own.

Step 5 of 5

Then it grew up into an app.

Forking a repo is a lot to ask, so v2 is a phone app: set up in a wizard, tokens encrypted at rest, briefs arrive as native push notifications.

Role: Solo build
v1: Telegram bot on GitHub Actions
v2: Phone app with push
Cost: Not a single quid to run (thank god)

Built with Python · FastAPI · PWA · Web Push · GitHub Actions
