Extended environment variables to allow for greater configurability and aligned debug mode detection with the new STRUCTABLES_DEBUG variable. Additionally, introduced command-line arguments for specifying Invidious instance URLs and unsafe iframe display settings.
The content fetching logic has been revised for fetching JSON data directly instead of scraping HTML, resulting in a more robust and efficient data extraction process. New templates accommodate the change and present a cleaner UI, including handling of iframes, downloads, and proper proxying of external resources.
HTML templates have been refactored to utilize better layout and styling while enhancing support for iframes and downloads, complete with the new ability to block iframe content from outside sources unless explicitly permitted. This security-focused feature protects end-users from potentially unsafe content.
Corrected the Matrix room URL in the README documentation to point to the new `#structables:private.coffee` room. This ensures users can find and join the correct discussion channel.
Updated CSS to include word-wrapping rules and adjusted the article template to apply these styles to content rows, ensuring better handling of long strings without space characters and improving the readability of articles with unusual text content. No layout disruption expected.
Corrected improper nesting within for-loop structure in the article template to ensure that step content is appropriately wrapped in a div, resolving visual inconsistencies in article step display. This change maintains structured and clean output for article content.
The README documentation has been updated to reflect the change in URL for the front-end alternative provided by Private.coffee. The updated link points to the new correct domain.
Updated the project name and references across various files, including README, template headers, and footers to reflect the rebranding from 'Indestructables' to 'Structables'. The favicon has been removed, and the main logo updated to align with the new branding. The commit modifies links to the source code repository as part of rebranding efforts. This change creates a clear distinction from the upstream project while maintaining acknowledgments to the original sources.
- Add 'privacy.txt' to .gitignore to prevent checking it in
- Refactor data storage from arrays to dictionaries for better data handling in 'main.py'
- Include 'pathlib' import for handling filesystem paths
- Introduce new CSS and Bootstrap files providing updated styles and responsive design elements
- Modify HTML templates to use updated data structures and enhance accessibility
These changes improve code readability, maintain project consistency, and enhance the front-end presentation. This work is part of ongoing efforts to better manage project data, secure sensitive information, and provide a more robust user interface.
Enhanced the Indestructables fork by eliminating its reliance on Selenium and Playwright's Chromium binary. This change streamlines the setup process and potentially improves performance and stability. Additionally, a new matrix room link has been added to the README for community engagement. Related project licenses reiterated for clarity.
Removed dependencies on external libraries such as `requests`, `requests-html`, and `playwright` in favor of Python's standard libraries like `urllib` for HTTP requests and parsing functionality. A more robust and efficient data update function was introduced to scrape API keys and fetch project data using Typesense. Transitioned from a manual browser-based scraping approach to an API-based one for improved stability and performance. Added logging for better monitoring and debuggability. Error-handling now leverages `HTTPError` from `urllib.error`. Shifted the configuration of debug mode to rely on an environment variable, aligning with Twelve-Factor principles. Removed unused functions and streamlined the handling of various routes within the Flask app. This change shifts the project towards a more maintainable code base by using built-in libraries, reduces external dependencies, and improves resilience and scalability of the web scraping components.
