A GitHub pages website that lists my favorite xkcd's.

The MIT License applies to the code in this repository, I claim no ownership to the comics; xkcd is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.5

If you wish to create your own favorites list, you can:

1. Fork this repository
2. git clone ... your repository to your computer.
3. Edit favorites.yaml to have your the corresponding IDs for your favorite xkcd's. The IDs are in the URL when viewing an xkcd.
4. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
5. python3 generate.py

Then, either push the branch and use github pages, or host the index.html, custom.css and index.js on a website somewhere.

generate.py will use data.json as a cache, so any items previously downloaded won't have to be downloaded again.

For debugging whether or not something has already been downloaded, you can increase log verbosity by editing the XKCD_LOGLEVEL environment variable; e.g.:

XKCD_LOGLEVEL=DEBUG python3 generate.py

More about log levels here.

I've also included a script ssg which 'pre-renders' the page, removing the javascript from the page so there's no rendering client side. After I clone this to my server, I do: ./ssg && mv static.html index.html.
