“I am because we are.”
A mindful tool for collecting and organizing shared images from the web, inspired by the Ubuntu philosophy of community, respect, and connection.
Ubuntu Image Fetcher is a Python script that gently connects to the global web community, fetches publicly shared images, and organizes them into a local folder for later appreciation. It’s designed with care, clarity, and the spirit of Ubuntu—emphasizing collaboration, respect for others’ work, and thoughtful digital stewardship.
- Fetches images from one or multiple URLs
- Saves them in a
Fetched_Imagesdirectory - Prevents duplicate downloads
- Validates image content before saving
- Provides clear, respectful feedback in the terminal
-
