Our Final Week of Festive Python Apps

It’s Christmas Eve, and we’ve opened the last door of the Anvil Advent Calendar. We have now revealed every one of our festive web apps!

Here are some of the festive apps we have seen this week:

Will It Snow Today? (dot com)

We’re based in the South of England, so it’s usually disappointing news:

Will it Snow Today (Dot Com)?

Geolocation + Weather APIs = Bad News for Britons. All the crooning songs are demanding snow, and you want to know whether today will be the day it happens. Find the answer with today's Advent Calendar app...

Scoring Christmas Board Games

Never search for a pad of paper again:

Christmas game scorer

It wouldn't be Christmas without games. Some of my favourite games don't come with score cards, so I built a quick app to keep track of scores without needing to find a...

“Alexa, tell the Christmas tree to turn its lights on!”

Banish earworms with a musical search engine:

Name That Carol

All I Want for Christmas is to Get This Song Out of My Head! Ever had an obscure line from a song stuck in your head and you can't place the title? Today's advent app lets you enter some words from a song, and get a list of songs it's in. There's even a link to the full lyrics (courtesy of MusixMatch)...

Map Sightings of Santa

Track his progress across the globe:

Santa Sighting Mapper

He's making a list(), he's checking it twice... Does Santa really visit every child in the world in a single night? Tonight we find out - using data! If you've seen Santa, you can use this app to submit his address. There's a map showing all the sightings so you can check where else he's been.
