Get all pasta times from all producers

jenkin commented 4 years ago

Data completeness, correctness and freshness are the biggest issues for data-driven applications.

Three ways to face them:

talking directly with producers to obtain official data (static files or APIs) released under an open license
developing scrapers to extract data from official websites and keep them up to date
handmade crowd-sourcing

All strategies must take into account issue #9 .

We can start listing all Italian pasta producers:

[x] Barilla
[x] Garofalo
[x] De Cecco
...

WARNING: if you want to update pasta timers database sending a pull request, please edit public/timers.json and not build/timers.json!

@abonte I already wrote to Barilla, Garofalo and De Cecco using their official contact forms asking for a release of requested data, can you please write to your suggested producers? Thanks!
