I’ve started the project and worked on some basics. I have a functioning crawler for Pinterest and I’ve started on the frontend. Even though I’ve done it a lot i kind of hate web development, especially React. I’ve recently started learning about htmx and the idea of hypermedia, managing state on the server and writing interactivity in HTML instead of using JS or bullshit like jsx that compile to 500mb+ of JS anyway really spoke to me. It feels a lot more clean and “pure”. As for the server, i am developing my own little abstractions around Go’s absolutely fantastic standard library (especially html/template) alongside this project. In the screenshot, the crawler is grabbing the first five results for searching “takanaka” on Pinterest.
