Oh, I think scraping and curation are orthogonal. I agree that if I just scrape anything from the web that looks like a comedy show and don't do anything to help the user sort the good from the bad, it's going to be a bad time.
I want my site to be useful for casual comedy fans who just want to see big names like Judd Apatow or Jerry Seinfeld. And I also want it to be useful for comedy nerds who do want to see open mics and alternative comedy shows. Both experiences should be possible with automated scraping + curation/ratings/filtering.
> And hey, if you're moving fast and love Vue, keep rocking it. I just meant... use Rails. Use PHP. Use anything that emits HTML that doesn't need to be rendered in JS on the client. This is just my opinion. If you've never tried Rails, perhaps consider trying Rails. Most of the other server frameworks (Laravel, Express, Django) are just efforts to copy Rails in other languages, but they never quite nail it.
Ah, okay. I've never tried Rails, but I have been interested. Moreso in the last few years as I become a bigger fan of Basecamp. Maybe I'll find an excuse to learn it this year for a hobby project. PHP, I used for a while ~15 years ago, and I don't really miss it, but maybe the experience has gotten better since then.
lol - honestly, I doubt it. Although I'm sure that if you ask a PHP fan they will tell me that they invented sliced bread. Back in the 90s, I was a Microsoft ASP developer... ASP being the language that PHP shamelessly copied but was open source. So Laravel copying Rails feels like history repeating to me, even though I shouldn't take it personally.
Here's a promise: if you ever want to jump into Rails and have any questions, I'm willing to put in as much time and energy helping you get started as you are to soak it up.
