The article mentions Python, Requests and BeautifulSoup. Here's a short example that scrapes HN Favorites. [0] #!/usr/bin/env python3 import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup username = input('username: ') # session uses connection pooling, often resulting in faster execution. session = requests.Session() base = 'https://news.ycombinator.com/' path = f'favorites?id={username}' while path: r = session.get(base + path) s = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser') for a in s.select('a.storylink'): print(a.text, a['href']) more = s.select_one('a.morelink') path = more['href'] if more else None [0] Python: https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I wrote some JavaScript and Python tools to search your HN Favorites and export them to CSV or HTML. The JavaScript runs in your browser like a browser extension. It scrapes the HTML and navigates from page to page. Setup and usage instructions are in the files. JavaScript: https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I wrote my own using the official HN API. It's about 100 lines of JavaScript. It keeps track (using localStorage) of which articles I've already seen, so I won't see them again. https://gabrielsroka.github.io/hn.html Source is also on GitHub. Feel free to fork, open a PR, etc. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I wrote some tools to search your HN favorites and export them to CSV or HTML in both JavaScript and Python.

I wrote a short (100-line) JavaScript snippet to call the GitHub API. It runs in your browser like a browser extension. In fact, it can easily be turned into a browser extension. Setup and usage instructions are in the file.

Encryption can be broken offline. You may want to put a server in front of it to block access to the raw encrypted material. That said, I'm using the Stanford JavaScript Crypto Library on https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/... What about authentication? Maybe putting it on a Google doc and sharing it with certain people?
