This month I release an updated version of my "Practice Python Projects" book: https://learnbyexample.github.io/practice_python_projects/

Next, I'm working on a TUI app (using Textual) for board games like Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four. These will also have a modified rule that requires forming a square instead of a line.
