When we shifted to an online setup due to the pandemic, we had so many online activities where we needed a random name picker. There are websites that offer this service but, I wanted to have a privacy-centered program that can read a large list of names and runs on my own computer. Since this is offline and we control the code, we become sure that the data stays private.
I created a program that a user can run in their terminal using Python and it can read a list of names from either a comma-separated-value (.csv) file or a text (.txt) file.
