OP you can use

quoting:"username"

in search to see.

I wrote a thread parser a while back to get notifications about when i should post to get a page snype a while back, it wasn't that difficult.

Search is limited to every ten ish seconds mind you, and there's probably further limiting

invaluable advice, thank you
i could probably write a basic scraper to check every few minutes, note down any quotes it sees, and ping me if it finds any that it didnt see the last time
this might actually be simpler than i thought

oh, and obviously, when the scripts are done i'll post links to them
make sure you read through them first to make sure i havent put anything weird in them - i'm not going to, obviously, but it's good practice

alright, newbie, *tucks icon away*, in order to truly be welcomed to this forum in which i am definitely an OG in, you must do my work for me

https://pastebin.com/JGs4kz4z

here is my code

im trying to call the 2 functions at the same time (so http requests go out at the same time), but function 2 shouldnt output its response unless function 1 is already finished running...


the problem is, i have no idea how Promises work, and apparently i've just made it so function 2 doesnt get called at all until function 1 is done*


*i feel bad already pls dont worry about my bugs**

**unless... haha....

i'll give this a look when i can get around to remembering poo poo about js, no promises though

Hello new and surprisingly young poster! How does a Young Person find out about this extremely old fashioned way to interact with the Internet?
In any case I must say I'm glad to have you here with us.

i've been on a few forums in the past, obviously heard about SA as it's pretty well-known, and i've been on the internet since i was... about 3 years old

the script goes well
far from done but at the moment all thats really left to do is cosmetic poo poo so it doesnt just vomit the raw quote list at you



gonna add some interactivity too so you can filter quotes (maybe even add a way for users to log in with their credentials instead of having to supply their cookies, idk, ill figure it out)

Good lord, when you log in it just issues you a cookie with your username and password? I thought it was bad enough that we didn't have HTTPS until like 2 years ago.

Have you looked into using pandoc to convert from HTML into Markdown?

Looks like a fun project.

it stores a cookie with your hashed password, so it's not AS bad but... still.
and, yeah, that curl command pipes into html2text (cut off because emacs keeps single lines on one goddamn line like the omnissiah intended)
