Re: Treatless App Draft

This, my dear friend, is why I haven't set up a dynamic spin to win click to generate your own exchange app meta-app yet...

With closed signups that only reveal prompts after like Yuletide, yes. I dump the tagset before signups, then dump the prompts when they are revealed.

With the running signup exchanges like ToT and CB, I leave my computer turned on because I am cheap as hell and run the scraping as a cron job. It is a sad trumpet life.

Every time I get close to getting a meta-app stood up, I lose steam because I'm mostly tired from coding 24/7 in real life. Maybe this year... I'm pretty close. Just need to stand up an actual backend server for the running signups exchanges.

Sans API, to the main point again, there's really no good way other than working smart. I page incrementally so I don't lose data. You might want to chuck already-scraped exchanges into a backend and only update them max once idk every 15 minutes or so.
