Kubernetes Playground *(coming soon in `MicroLab`)*\nA DevOps-focused project to build and deploy microservices using:\n- **Go / Node.js** for services\n- **Docker + Minikube** for local clusters\n- **GitHub Actions** for CI/CD\n- *(Optional)* Helm for Kubernetes packaging\n\n\u003e **Goal**: Escape frontend fatigue. Build infra awareness.\n\n---\n\n### 💬 2. KigaliKit — CLI Tools for Rwandan Devs *(currently active, under `Web-Scrapper`)*\nA lightweight CLI utility (Python or Go) that provides:\n- 🧑‍💻 Local tech job listings\n- 📅 Developer events in Rwanda\n- 📚 Quick access to dev tips/resources\n\nPlanned usage:\n\n```bash\n$ rwdev list-jobs\n$ rwdev events\n$ rwdev tips --topic golang\n````\n\n\u003e **Goal**: Empower local devs with useful, no-UI tooling.\n\n---\n\n### 🎧 3. TeraTune — Spotify Listening Stats API *(coming soon)*\n\nA personal data project using the Spotify Web API:\n\n* OAuth-based login\n* Store listening data in PostgreSQL\n* Expose a custom API\n* *(Optional)* Visual dashboard with Streamlit\n\n\u003e **Goal**: Playfully explore personal data with real backend + DB skills.\n\n---\n\n## 🔍 Other Experiments\n\n### 🕸️ Web Scraping *(in progress within `KigaliKit`)*\n\n* Using `BeautifulSoup` to parse HTML (e.g., courses, job posts)\n* Handling broken tags, missing data, and messy structure\n* Foundations for KigaliKit’s CLI data layer\n\n### 🧠 Systems in C *(planned under `HttpServerInC`)*\n\n* Memory management and raw networking\n* A basic HTTP server built in C\n* Reinforce understanding of systems-level programming\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ Stack Highlights\n\n| Language | Use Case                          |\n| -------- | --------------------------------- |\n| Python   | Web scraping, automation, CLIs    |\n| Go       | Systems tools, CLI, microservices |\n| C        | Low-level memory/server code      |\n| Node.js  | APIs, event-driven services       |\n\n---\n\n## 📌 Vision\n\nThis repo is a **skill incubator** — not just another app graveyard.\nEvery folder is a ladder out of shallow dev work and toward technical depth.\n\n🕶️ Build quietly. Learn deeply. Escape frontend fatigue.\n\n---\n\n## 🧱 Getting Started\n\nClone and explore project directories:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/your-username/DarkSkills.git\ncd DarkSkills/Web-Scrapper  # Soon to be renamed to KigaliKit\npython3 main.py\n```\n\n\u003e More instructions will be added as new projects are launched.\n\n---\n\n## 📍 Author\n\n**me\\@192** — Tinkerer of tools, not just apps\n🇷🇼 Based in Rwanda | Focused on backend, infra, and purposeful dev work\n\n---\n\n## 🕳️ Down the Rabbit Hole?\n\nWant to build your own version of these projects?\n\nReach out or open an issue to get guidance on:\n\n* Deploying microservices with Kubernetes\n* Building developer CLIs in Python or Go\n* Using the Spotify API + PostgreSQL for personal data projects\n\n---\n\n- Rename the folder `Web-Scrapper` to `KigaliKit`:\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmr-ndi%2Fdarkskills","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmr-ndi%2Fdarkskills","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmr-ndi%2Fdarkskills/lists"}
