Well I just scraped the hell out of that. Some very pretty images. I know it is labor intensive, but they really put the effort into a massive amount of hand drawn frames for some of these movies and it shows in the final product.
- ycombinete 10mo agoWhat did you use to do the scraping?
- caconym_ 10mo agoI don't know what he did, but I gave gemini-cli the url and asked for a script. The LLMs are pretty good at this sort of simple but tedious implementation.
- exasperaited 10mo agoAnd nothing of value was gained.
- caconym_ 10mo agoTrue if you think the images have no value, nor the time I saved by "outsourcing" the work, but writing the kind of trivial web scraper I've written N times before somehow does. Personally I would disagree!
- stevenwliao 10mo agoIt might have been that the OP wanted to try for themselves using an app or some source code.
- caconym_ 10mo agoThey are welcome to do so! I encourage anyone who finds this scraping problem interesting to approach it in whatever way they find the most rewarding!
- naet 10mo agoI just did Advent of Code in Python, which isn't my daily use language but was fun to play with. Threw together a script in a little less than 5 min that did what I wanted: downloaded all the screenshots and put into a directory for each movie.
