  1. Web scraping by watching requests

    Web scraping is a technique used to extract content from websites in order to archive data in a structured way. The data is extracted directly from the source code. The work consists in searching it in a jungle of HTML tags. It is however much easier to retrieve this data in a structured format. This is possible by intercepting web requests between your browser and the website. This method works, among others, on social networks or classifieds websites (but make sure to respect their terms of use).

  2. Svelte JS : VSCode configuration and internationalization

    Svelte is a set of tools to develop Javascript applications (yet another new JS framework). It is a direct competitor of React or VueJS. After having tried it, I confirm that this project is to be followed with interest.

  3. Web scraping with Electron

    Web scraping is a technique for extracting content from websites in order to archive data in a structured way. Be careful, however, to respect the terms of use of the website concerned. Electron is a framework for creating native Windows/Mac/Linux applications with web technologies (Javascript, HTML, CSS). It includes the browser Chromium, fully configurable. Is there a better way to code a portable application with a graphical user interface to scrape a given site ?
