How can I give input to my computer from my phone?

Question

I am trying to create a python program that takes input of what homework assignments I have and stores all of that information so that I can send a notification to my phone when assignments are coming up. I want to be able to give input from my phone throughout the day and cant seem to find a way to interact with my script on my computer from my phone. Any ideas? Ps: if you know a way that I can send notifications to my phone that would also be cool.

It looks like you should create a classic client/server architecture. This is quite a big task. Your program running on your Windows computer acts as a server waiting for client (mobile application) requests. I propose to create a widely used REST API service using eg the Flask framework (server side) and use the Retrofit framework for the Android application. Remember that when using the application on the Internet, you will have to ensure the availability of the server. To send notifications from the server to the app, use Firebase Cloud Messaging
