Terminal App on Branch 2

Overview

For a long time, people have exclusively used MySQL to build digital databases. While this is a good system to build a database, it is robust and trusted, I have come up with a ridiculous alternative; Python and CSS.

Python, as a server-side data-handling language, and CSS as a web-side presentational language, do not go hand in hand. However, I believe that Python will serve as the optimal language for this, as opposed to JavaScript.

Goals

  1. Create a Python program… that can parse a CSS document and retrieve binary data to convert into human readable data.

  2. Create a CSS sheet… that can hold strings and numbers in the form of Hexadecimals.

Methods

Here is my plan to create a CSS database for text only:

  1. Create a CSS sheet that has a list of colors in the form of hexadecimals.
  2. Use a Python program parse the CSS sheet.
  3. Add all of the hexadecimals into a singular string
  4. Convert that string to binary
  5. Convert the binary to human readable data

Inspiration

My inspiration is an Instagram reel I saw a few weeks ago. It was a person making fun of the way managers of DevOps teams don’t understand anything about development, and therefore say things like “Just make a CSS database”. If you would like to see the reel yourself, it is by Anthony Sistilli, here is the link: Reel
