vickz84259 / xkcd Goto Github PK

This feature would entail someone being able to download a specific group of comics. Either grouped according to their numbers.

Example: 200 - 300

They could also be grouped according to the period they were posted.

Example: 8/01/2010 - 1/01/2015

Even individually by the date posted or by it's number.

Since xkcd has over 1500 comics, it is essential that the project incorporates concurrency to reduce the time taken in downloading the comics.

Concurrency would help greatly since most of the functions in the project are IO based.

The project would be restructured since several functions are reusable in other projects. It would then be added to pypi as a package.
This would help ease the installation and usage.

Since the project includes an option of downloading all the comics on xkcd, it would be boring and tiresome having to go through all the comics manually.

Proposed is a way of automating the images in the style of some slideshow of some sort. I proposed it be developed through flask since it is a great micro-framework and it would be easy for beginner and advanced programmers interested in this project to contribute.

As a bonus: It could display explanation from: explainxkcd, since sometimes frankly we just don't get it :)

For those getting the project at the time of writing, the 'latest' command argument does not work. This is as a result of a pass within the code.

This is highly regretted. It's as a result of being excited to push my first repo to github. Anyway, I will work on it ASAP since it is a core feature of the project.
