New project: kylfuskofu
kylfuskofu: Site scraper/aggregator with Discord Webhook
This application collects random websites from multiple sources (indieblog.page, hackernews, 512kb.club), stores them in a SQLite database, and (optionally) syncs the database with IBM Cloud Object Storage. It also sends notifications to a Discord webhook with clickable links to the discovered sites.
But why?
Fair question. I am building this little tool for a few reasons:
- I learn best when I have a problem to solve and I am trying to learn more python in 2025. Two birds, one stone.
- I love the concept of sites like https://512kb.club/ and https://indieblog.page, but visiting the site and clicking the Random Site button 20-30 times a day is annoying.
- While not all sites are going to be up my alley or even in my native language, I want a way to discover more people and information outside of the traditional social media sites.
- I want more data coming into my RSS reader and I am looking for ways to aggregate content and provide myself with more tailored feeds.
