Table of Contents

Description

HTML scraping script that gets some online web comics and displays them on a single page, because i am lazy.

Install

  • Copy web/ files to your webserver folder.
  • edit config.py and set the correct webserver folder.
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • python main.py

Todo

Work In Progress

  • Make all current comics as plugins in the comics/ directory
  • Actually output HTML (currently it just prints the scraped html)
  • Discard old.py
  • Config parser so that OUTPUT_FILE and OUTPUT_DIR are not defined in 2 files.
  • Make it possible to scrape 1 comic for testing purposes
  • Add index generator

Nice 2 haves

  • Create a jinja2 html template
  • Make instagram scraper for instagram comics
  • Check when a comic has been updated and display that (or put it on the top of the page, so you dont have to scroll so much)

Probably never gonna happen

  • Actually scrape all the released comics from a website and keep a local cache (i'm looking at you User Friendly 😞)

General life todo

  • Drink beer
  • Raise hell
  • Pet dogs

Toons to add

Are these even updated anymore?
