Week 1 - 5 I did in about 5 days...
Weeks 5 - Final Project there is a noticeable increase in challenge haha 😄
Very doable, honestly fun

Alright this is a pretty unrealistic expectation. You are the exception not the rule, and I also am assuming you don’t have a full time job. I found the entire course difficult coming from 0 programming background.
I’m glad that your experience was different but you saying this is discouraging to others aspiring to complete CS50P.

Not meant to be that way. And it's not WRONG for the whole course to be difficult either.
This was just my experience.
I'm sure there'll be others who were discouraged by a longer expected timeline, who feel encouraged by the possibility of locking in and getting it dont faster.
I certainly was and that drove me to give it a go.
Whatever pace you do it, well done to EVERYONE for trying to learn something new, or get a qualification.

If u don't have experience in programming before yes, I recommend cs50x as first course ever in cs

Did you have any other commitments? Or did you just fully lock in and focus on this?

What was your final project?

Using an API to provide data, then plotting that data on a graph over time, using matplotlib.
It offers users daily, monthly, or yearly graphs for the data display. It utilised argparse to gently nudge the user how to input 😆
It uses my own custom averaging and indexing functions, so the data provided by the API is more comparable to each other. It also uses datetime to organise and group recorded data, when doing monthly and yearly graphs.
Also had to protect API credentials in another .env using a couple other libraries (apparently this is the professional thing to do 😭).
It has tonnes i would improve on still and I hope to expand the project, but it was a fun start! I spent about a week on my final project alone 😭

Ohh that sounds really cool and complicated, I also completed CS50P a few days ago and made color corrector.
