Awesome

This has been replaced by checker_mal, which consolidates mal_id_cache and this website into the same application

A Sinatra website that serves the output of mal_id_cache --unapproved json

Consists of cache_loop, which keeps the JSON cache file up to date and the http server.

Install/Run:

After installing ruby, bundle, and python3.6+, uglifycss:

Assumes you have a built mal_id_cache. I run that on my server anyways, so you could just set up a script to periodically git pull from that repo. Otherwise, run mal_id_cache --loop in the background.

Host an instance of jikan on port 8000. See here for more info; my docker setup

Uses uglifycss to minify CSS from ./public/raw_css to ./public/css. That can be done with ./uglify_css

bundle install
pip3 install --user jikanpy requests
./cache_loop once # (run once to build the initial unapproved/name cache)
./cache_loop & # run in background to keep unapproved IDs updated
ruby server.rb # to serve html

I handle the backgrounds tasks using supervisor here
