Simon

Art gallery application for Simon Stålenhag's artwork

The application automatically scrapes Simon Stålenhag's website, skips so-called detailed images and only downloads thumbnails and full-size images. After that, it generates an HTML page which presents the downloaded artwork in a very accessible manner by creating an online gallery where users can navigate with ease and be able to see the full-size images without leaving the main page and opening unnecessary browser tabs.

• Clone this repository
• Run mvn package inside the project folder in order to build the project artifact
• Inside the project folder cd ./target and then java -jar ./simon.jar in order to start the web scraper and generate the HTML page
