ndleah/python-mini-project — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a beginner friendly open source Python mini projects collection that feels like a playground for people who are just learning Python and GitHub.

I want lots of small standalone projects, not one big app. Include simple games, calculators, converters, password tools, file tools, web scraping examples, data visualization examples, basic automation scripts, and a few beginner data science style demos. Keep the code easy to read, with comments where helpful, so a newbie can open any folder and understand what is going on.

Each project should have its own folder, a short README that explains what it does, how to run it, and what the user should expect. Add a main README that welcomes contributors, explains the goal of the repo, and gives simple steps for forking, cloning, making a branch, adding a project, and opening a pull request. Also include a reusable README template for future projects and a basic requirements file.
