@Taifun has built an awesome extension directory and he updates it from time to time which is very time intensive process.
If there was a site that scraped mit app inventor and kodular community extension area two times a day. The directory would be updated and be pretty fast.
Is scraping discourse forums allowed? or it is needed for this whole process to be manual.
Remember not to post direct links to extensions anywhere...only links to the pages where the extensions are published. Besides, there have been many attempts to create new extension directories, and none of them have survived the test of time.
Once in a while someone does have that gorgeous idea, read more about what happened last time here
Taifun
Yes was thinking of making a great extension search engine
As I see the directory is still functional
Btw @taifun why don't you use an alogorithm for scraping?
Is scraping allowed for making an extension directory?
This was already answered in the other thread New extensions directory! 🎉
Just read it post by post
Taifun
I read it
It states that making a search engine for extensions is legal...
However if the algorithm is less efficient many extensions will be missing
Anything I miss
Seems that Taifun is operating the directory well
so I will focus on other project ideas
