What Hacker News says

This is relevant to my interests[0] Based on the website I was quite skeptical. It looks too much like an "indiehacker", minimum-almost-viable-product, fake-it-till-you-make-it, trolling-for-email-addresses kind of website. But after a quick search on twitter, it seems like people are actually using it and reporting good results. Maybe I'll take a proper look at it at some point. I'd still like to know more about pricing, how it deals with cloudflare challenges, non-semantic markup and other awkwardnesses. [0] https://github.com/Joeboy/cinescrapers

I just took a fortnight off work with the intent of getting away from my laptop, but accidentally ended up making a listings site for London's independent / arts cinemas. As far as I can tell no such thing currently exists, and I feel like it should. Obviously the main thing is getting the listings data, which as far as I know (mostly) isn't readily available any other way that scraping the cinemas' websites, for which I set this up as a separate-ish project[1] [0] https://filmhose.uk [1] https://github.com/Joeboy/cinescrapers
