I was going to ask if you had tried postwoman.io, turns out, they rebranded to hoppscotch

nice one!

make a media player in python :p a local search engine. write your own db...

Yeah, I was thinking of making a local password manager!

I'm not very proficient in python so just need to make sure I have enough offline resources

tbh, databases of any kind could be used to make a chat application if your query structures are well setup etc.,.

But the feature you are mentioning like having threads could be easily be solved using like a document store ex; mongodb or any other no-sql db that could help you save time in both setting up things and querying.

Just my 10 cents.

Thanks for reply.

What do you believe is the most appropriate data-store to use and why?

(Eg relational, nosql, document, time-series, etc)

really curious about if all the people that do leet code can transfer those skills to their job. Problem solving is a good metric i suppose, but how good?

it depends on the type of job, in some cases yes. i would say in most other cases 5 star leet code skills doesn't help at all.

dope!
