i started a script to see if I can scroll back to the first post on

let's hope this doesn't crash anything 😨

@grainloom using the API to find it would be too easy? :D

@Earthnuker yup :P

plus it's just nicer to have a scripted browser window on my second screen

feels all hackery :blobuwu:

@Earthnuker i actually have an API key, I think... maybe I should try it??

@grainloom but scrolling text in a console window is *even more* hackery :P

@Earthnuker hmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM :thaenking:

what if.... selenium for elinks????

@grainloom en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect + text-based browser (elinks,lynx,w3m) = very hacky scriptable browser (i'm pretty sure this would break horribly and using a headless browser would be way better but i guess if you want to use less resources /shrug)

@Earthnuker idk if that would work with elinks, since elinks is not line oriented πŸ€”

@grainloom yep, that's why i said it would break horribly :P

@Earthnuker btw not that anyone asked but I got that API key to make an app that just shows an infinite pearlmethyst slideshow

sadly I didn't get far with it :blobsad:

ok, doing this with the API

let's see how far back it lets me go
