I love this particular type of software, I have been considering doing the same in python/urwid, but I have had trouble thinking up which modules would be usefu

  We are forced to use a combination of Slack and Microsoft Teams at $megacorp. Slack CLI has always been lacking, and Teams is fairly new so I haven't even looked. Having a working module for these would probably get me from tire kicking to daily driver. I am a unique butterfly and do not like needing a web browser to interface with the company. /s

  > but I have had trouble thinking up which modules would be useful and/or interesting Anything interactive with a readable API: mail inboxes and IM services. Calendar entries and other notifications published via online calendars. Other online resources: RSS feeds, TV/film listings - modules to simply display static data and/or filter & highlight specific items of interest. Anything normally monitored by tools such as cacti/collectd/similar: disk IO, connections, CPU use, memory, application status, ... Remote versions of the above (either the core module supporting remote calls or a generic server that allows modules to be run and their results read remotely. Though the key to writing software to scratch an itch is to make sure it supports the things that would be useful and/or interesting to you.
