I think that Mastodon now has a whitelist mode that removes the public HTML pages.

If my attempt turns out ok. I might deploy it and make a simple web that's going to allow everyone to search through it.

That's a pretty great plan. I'm looking forward to the screeching. How are you going to handle Pleroma since it doesn't have a static UI?
@wowaname

@r000t
Experience. Your client is going to parse Mastodon's static UI? Awesome.
@wowaname

@wowaname
Yeah. It's just SQLite. Should I do deduplication with the DB or in code? I want to make it multithreaded, so I think it's probably easier to just have the DB handle it.

@wowaname A script that parses the Mastodon profile static UI and saves every user and status it find into a DB

Holy shit this script is gonna suck. I have never done anything like this.

Should connection to the DB be always open or should I only open it when I need it?

@xyfdi No. BeautifulSoup does most of the work for you.
