I have 3 pet projects.

(1) Bython, a basic Python interpreter written in C. I just want to have a taste of what it's like programming out a language so I won't go too far. It is dynamically typed and has automatic memory management. https://github.com/remykarem/bython. PRs welcome!

(2) minishell. This is a simple shell with only 2 commands: either you (i) hit enter to view 10 files of a folder at a time, or you (ii) enter a filename and view nbytes. I built this because a co-worker wanted to view a folder with 20+GB of files but couldn't do it with an `ls`. With this, I hope that we can casually explore a folder without having to print everything. https://github.com/remykarem/minishell.

(3) Scrollable Python documentation, a hack from the scrollable interface found in https://allennlp.org/tutorials. Use case is for people who are explaining Python code. https://github.com/remykarem/scrollable-python-documentation.

My command of C isn't that great so if you're interested to collaborate, I'm happy to be your apprentice :)
