Implement GitHub Actions to mine into Git repository

Closed this issue · 2 comments

There's an article on how to use GitHub Actions to regularly scrape data into a Git repository (Hacker News thread). This would be useful for this project because it could save us hosting costs in terms of computation and Internet usage time.

On a related note, there are implementations of using pure JSON files as database storage which would make the database easily Git-able and diff-able. One of them is called Sir (Hacker News thread).

This has been implemented. See ./.github/workflows for workflow files.
