🌱 What’s Next for PySorta? Easy Wins & Big Idea

[theProject]

Hey friends 👋

Now that the repo’s live and the foundation is stable, we want to open up the floor for ideas, feedback, and contributions — whether you’re new to GitHub or a seasoned dev.

Here are some things we’re thinking about — ranging from quick wins to more ambitious ideas. If something sparks your interest, feel free to comment, start an issue, or even make a PR!

🧁 Beginner-Friendly Ideas

These are great if you're learning Python or GitHub and want to make a meaningful impact:

• 🏷️ Add more file extensions to FILE_CATEGORIES (e.g., .ai, .psd, .blend, .md, .csv)
• 🌎 Add new languages to prompts (translations for Spanish, French, etc.)
• 📂 Add a CLI flag system so it can be run non-interactively
• 🧪 Improve docstrings and type hints across the script
• 🐛 Lint & clean up formatting (run flake8 and make fixes)
• 💬 Write simple tutorials or YouTube-style guides for running on Pythonista or VSCode
• 📸 Add screenshots or demo GIFs to the README

⚙️ Intermediate Goals

These are for those with a bit more experience or looking for something meatier:

• 🧠 Refactor the core logic into a modular class structure
• 🪄 Add a “dry run” preview mode before it actually moves files
• 🎛️ Add a config file option (.json or .toml) for default behaviors
• 🧱 Improve cross-platform handling (iOS quirks, Windows paths, etc.)
• 🧼 Auto-cleanup empty folders after sorting

🚀 Ambitious, Long-Term Ideas

Ready to flex? Let’s dream big together:

• 🖥️ Build a GUI using Tkinter, PyWebview, or PyQt
• 🌐 Create a web version (e.g., using Flask or Next.js with drag-drop upload + sort)
• 📦 Publish as a PyPI package
• 📱 Turn it into a native iOS app via Pythonista + Shortcuts + pyto integration
• 🤖 Integrate AI (e.g., classify files via GPT or OCR image sorting)

you'll notice I am testing some pngs as I learn markdown - also glad for feedback on that too!
