Today I put together a quick script to automate downloading manga chapters from a site I’ve been reading on. Half the motivation was just being sick of the popup ads that keep interrupting every page — feels like every click triggers three new tabs. So I figured, why not script around the annoyance and grab what I want instead of fighting the site every time.

It was a fun little exercise in scripting for personal convenience — the kind of small side project that doesn’t solve anything important at work but is satisfying to build anyway. The script itself is up on my GitHub Gist if you want to see how it was put together.

Meant purely for personal use and learning, not for redistributing or scraping at scale. Just one of those late-night “let me automate this annoying manual thing” projects that ends up teaching you more than expected.
