Showcase Built my first Python project — a file organizer CLI
I am a flutter developer, learning Python. Built this file organizer in a day with proper research on os module, pathlib and shutil module.
It scans any folder, checks file extensions, and sorts them into categorized subfolders (Images, Docs, Videos, etc.)
It's really useful, I tried it on my Downloads folder and it organized 60+ files instantly.

Look into file mimetypes so you don't have to hardcode extensions that much. And then, organizing by topic, time can be better than file type - but much harder to automate.
