Re: "CIA World Factbook"

In: s/Geminispace

@Acidus Oh, there are definitly scripts involved! Python scripts. Pretty standard stuff, with Requests, BeautifulSoup and html2text. It's manual in that it's a small pile of scripts I need to run by hand in the right order and sometimes comment things in/out. It won't be hard or take long to turn it into something a little more turn-key. Eventually there will just be a weekly cron job to pull in updates. I really hope some kind of conditional fetch is supported by the CIA's HTTPS setup, so I can only download genuinely new stuff each week.

— CIA World Factbook in gemtext

CIA World Factbook — I am working on converting the CIA World Factbook to gemtext. It is coming along pretty well, the original web version does not really use much more than three levels of headers anyway.
