Scrape FilthyCritic and IMDB using Python and the Scrapy package.
This was phase 1 of a 3 part project of creating a Netflix-style clone of the current archive.
Why?
Because his current one is just....awful.
Many worse writers have much better sites, which is. Um. Also awful.
Pt 2; set up back end using Ruby on Rails
Pt 3; set up front end using Angular
Pt 4; build site UX for mobile
Pt 5; Incorporate NgRx for persistant front end storage
My Netflix clone is complete, and can be currently viewed here.
That reminds me. Thanks, Netflix, for changing your UI, the same one that has remained mostly unchanged for a long time, right in the middle of my build. Thanks a bunch.
My clone is in a private repo but can be made available for code review purposes.
