Tinker Tuesday for April 1, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Finally back on my feet!

Most of the incremental changes I was talking about in the past weeks were about crawling websites. I suppose it makes sense, but I was surprised how many anti-bot measures there are, and then even more surprised how many of them you can make go away, if you just say "bro, I'm just using CURL, can you please let me something about your website".

Last week I was working on navigating through Twitter, so loading older tweets from a profile, and loading replies to a selected Tweet. Went pretty smooth and I think I should be able to start working on the UI soon, which is when I'll finally be able to show something off.
