PERSONALIZED NEW YEAR GREETINGS
Happy New Year
Apr 2020
Python-based web app generating personalized New Year greetings. Users input their name, and the app outputs 'Happy New Year, {Name}!'. It's my First Python Project.

Project details
Overview
Happy New Year is a small Python web app and the first Python project in this portfolio. A visitor types a name and receives a personalized greeting: “Happy New Year, {Name}!”
It is intentionally tiny. The value is the start of a public shipping habit — input, output, a URL-shaped app, a GitHub repo — that later became festival tools (Vesak Card) and full products.

Problem
The learning goal was not “another greeting.” It was: can I take user input, interpolate it safely into a message, and put that on the web with Python? That loop is the whole product.
What I built
- Name input and personalized greeting generation
- Simple name-to-message pattern
- Lightweight web interface for sharing
- Public GitHub repository
Impact
- First Python web project on record (2020)
- Established a pattern of seasonal, shareable microsites
- Proof that the portfolio includes the early work, not only flagships
Key features
- Name field
- Personalized “Happy New Year, {Name}!” output
- Minimal web UI
Technologies
Python only, as a first-step project into programming and web apps.
My role
Solo beginner project: idea, code, and the public repo.
