Online /prog/scrape

Is there a web accessible /progscrape that'll allow me to scrape world4ch without downloading and updating the database at http://cairnarvon.rotahall.org/2008/11/30/progscrape/?

It doesn't break when parsing subject.txt at all; it correctly points out that /prog/'s subject.txt has an invalid entry. This is a Shii_tchan bug, not a progscrape bug.
The fact that it's eight times slower is a debatable point. Xarn said that he thinks hammering dis with extra threads is poor form, and progscrape's speed is just fine for people who run it every day. The only people affected by it's single-threadedness are people running it for the first time, and even then it only takes a few hours to finish.

The Github project only has one follower
IMO, that fact is irrelevant. It's relatively easy to imagine that most /prog/riders aren't going to be willing to compromise their anonymity just to know when Xarn updates his script. You'll notice that even in contest threads most entries are anonymous, and those that aren't are only identified by a tripcode.

The imageboards may have turned anonymity into a cult, but /prog/ usually seems to realize there's a time and a place for things, and understands why world4ch is anonymous by default. We have no problem shedding anonymity for things like IRC or Web 2.0 social media, so I don't see why Github should be any different.
Pseudonymity is every bit as good as anonymity in the context of Github, anyway.

But progscrape actually has two followers besides Xarn.

Wait, it's called /prog/scrape?

I always thought it was progscape.

>>45
Less of you.

>> 46 Less of telling people how to do things? Or just breaking the law?

I'm so intrigued to know so I may make an apt response.

The script is progscrape.py and the Github repository is progscrape because of technical limitations, but the name of the project is /prog/scrape. As close an approximation to this name as possible should be used.
