Of my grandfather Verus I have learned to be gentle and meek, and to refrain from all anger and passion.

From the fame and memory of him that begot me I have learned both shamefastness and manlike behaviour. Of

my mother I have learned to be religious, and bountiful; and to forbear, not only to do, but to intend any evil; to content myself with a spare diet, and to

So I was writing an article on screen scraping and one of the things that came up is "How do you mitigate against screen scraping?" I think this is actually in interesting question, which brought up the idea of a side project that maybe someone else has time for.

The idea is that to prevent screen scraping, the page being scraped must be mutated as to break a scraper. To do that, you could do things like alter selectors of css resources and html (for instance, changing all ids of "signupButton" to "sarah-goldfarb") or change the structure of the page. Maybe it also mutates the structure of the DOM.

A small node proxy that does this around streams would be particularly cool.

Things you're likely to learn:

1. More about CSS selector precedence. Which selectors can you easily mutate? Which are harder? Are there examples of selectors which you can't mutate?
2. What can XPath do? XPath is a mechanism for querying tree structures (notably XML). If you were g

I really want a service where you can enter in 2 wikipedia pages and
it will tell you how they relate. It'd be especially cool if someone
else made it, so I'm writing up how I think it might be done in
Python. 

Due to the nature of the queries you want to do (how does x relate to
y), I think this should end up in a graph database. In this graph
database, every page is a node. Links between pages are directed edges
in the graph, annotated with the paragraph of text they're linked
from.

goals:

middleware, like express.
no `.next()`, which express has.
use of promises (rejecting/resolving) unlike node's traditional (err, data) thing
immutable requests, preferring instead an explicit databag for state managment (continuous local storage)
