Webcomic_Checker

Hey there!

Webcomic Checker is exactly what it sounds like: a tool to check webcomics. If you read enough of them, you know that there are more then a couple comics out there with inconsistent update schedules. You could just keep them open in a browser and check them periodically (which is what I did for a period of time), but such a simple repetitive task is exactly the kind of thing you should automate!

Before doing anything, run install.py. It'll install two packages, requests and beautifulsoup4 on your machine. Then, run wcheck to run the program. (You may have to modify the shebang to work with your system) More information on how to use this program will be made available upon running it.

This tool isn't anything impressive, I wrote it mostly to teach myself a couple things. Still, I hope you can find some use for it.
