Source Code | Technical stuff
The core server stuff is written in some pretty straight forward PHP, which then makes system calls to a selection of Python scripts I've written. These python scripts use a Python tool called Beautiful Soup, which is a really awesome peice of code for screen-scraping.
There were a couple of other fancy bits using some really simple AJAX and javascript. All the site was fairly easy to make though, in particular using Beautiful Soup.
If you want to take a look at the source code or want a more detailed explaination of what the website does you can send me an e-mail.
Site Suggestions
If you know of any websites which you think are great for this sort of thing then send me a link and I'll see what I can do about adding them to the screen-scraper list of sources. I can't pull from all websites (it mainly depends on how their URLs are formatted) so don't feel bad if I can't do it, but I'm always looking for suggestions!
