Built something kinda crazy this week
I set up a receipt printer that automatically prints my entire day every morning at 7:30 AM before I even wake up. It pulls from: Google Calendar (mine + my gf’s shared calendar) Canvas — assignments due, professor announcements Claude AI — priority ranked tasks with detailed steps, time blocks, meal suggestions, habits All formatted and printed on a thermal receipt printer. Multiple receipts, one for schedule, one for tasks, one for Canvas, one for daily essentials. Total cost? $0.06 in API credits for a full day of testing. The $5 credit from Anthropic will last me literally years. Also built a local dashboard to preview everything. The whole thing runs on Python + Claude API + Google Calendar API + Canvas API. If anyone wants to build something similar lmk
