skarabasakis / text-transformer

A project I am working on for a tutorial on GUI application development with python

Text Transformer

Text transformer is a toy application that transforms text in various fun ways:

• silence: Remove all the vowels
• leetify: Convert to leetspeak
• ransomize: Randomly mix uppercase and lowercase letters for a ransom note effect
• jumble: Shuffle the middle letters of all words, like in the popular typoglycemia internet meme

Text transformer implements three distinct frontends:

• a command line interface

  

• a tkinter GUI (--tkui)

  

• a browser-based GUI (--webui)

  

Local development setup

Requirements

• Python 3.9 with tkinter
• Poetry 1.x

Setup instructions

1. Clone the project
2. Install dependencies: poetry install
3. Activate virtualenv: poetry shell
