I like where this line of thinking is going.
set something up to do this automatically for all of the episodes
So uh, I work for a data aggregation company and this is kinda my wheelhouse. I can't exactly make our utilities available, but I could put them to use to get the initial data set of all of the past episodes (and should be able to keep it up for the foreseeable future). I'll get to work on it tonight.
Nice! Thanks @deprecatedcoder :)
So I've got like 80% of it done and am updating it over here on this gist: https://gist.github.com/deprecatedcoder/f58e3ab88e72b117dac64b9a3d240af5
I'll keep going until it's complete and groomed pretty nicely, just not tonight.
Nice! This is looking great and can be an excellent foundation for a database and I can even see writing a script to just run through this and download the assets for use. Very cool!
I started thinking about how one might translate the relevant pieces of data on an episode page into data today in an effort to lay them out visually. I started with Ep #704 and pulled these assets from it just from the website:
These formats are easy for me to pull in and work with for prototyping purposes, but I could potentially see these as data points in a db for better future use. I wonder if WordPress stores these as fields at all?
We also have a .csv file provided in the repo by @mhenry07 https://github.com/micahstubbs/voices-of-vr-data/blob/master/data/episode/704/vovr-ep704-people.csv - I'm unsure if this will be useful in the visual layout at this time, but we'll see.
My next step will be to import these to Neos and lay them out spatially, perhaps in a couple different ways to just play with some ideas, but I thought in general it would be useful for others to see this information as it would be the basic assets needed for any given episode, and it seems like we could scrape these from the site fairly easily.
If anyone has the means to set something up to do this automatically for all of the episodes, that would be cool at some point.
