comics sans comic sans

About:

This is basic web-comic RSS scraper written with Google Go and HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

This is meant to be run locally and for personal use and should not be used to redistribute artist's content.

Running:

The program may be run with the default configuration: % go run comicsSans.go

Running the program will:

• Scrape the RSS feeds specified in config.json.
• Create new files to serve (index.html and comics.json).
• Starts a simple web server (accesible at http://localhost:8080 by default).

Configuration:

RSS feeds for web-comics may be added in the config.json file.
The only field needed per config.json entry is the RSS feed URL, but the Name of the web-comic series may be overloaded as well.

Notes:

This tool attempts to use a minimal amount of data-munging.
For that, attempt to build a cleaner feed with Yahoo Pipes or a similar service to pre-process or clean-up RSS feeds.
