Funnies

Funnies is a Sinatra application that scrapes your favorite web comics and formats them on a single page. Think a virtual version of the comics section in your newspaper.

Overview

Funnies original goal is to use Nokogiri to scrape the images from my favorite web comics and serve them up via Sinatra. So far it just pulls xkcd, but I am aiming for a way to make this a configuration option in the future.

Requirements

Sinatra Nokogiri HAML and SASS Active Support

Usage

$ ruby funnies.rb

Todo

• Factor out comic fetching to a single helper function
• Make a config file with a list of xpaths for different comics
• Use Mustache instead of HAML and SASS
• Better design for the page
