Todo

Project is not finished:

• Codegrepper parsing
• Linux support
• CI/CD on GitHub actions
• Linux .deb / .rpm packages
• Windows binaries
• Stackoverflow parsing.

How is made:

The project uses selenium with Chrome driver this is because all content is generated by javascript , so there is hard to scrap website using only requests or bs4. As an cli part the argparse was choosen. The binary is build using pyinstaller and makefile. Enjoy it.
