Reddit Post-Game Thread Generator

This tool generates game threads in the appropriate sub-reddit when fed an ESPN link.

Tech

This simple product is packaged in Ruby on Rails and Nokogiri for web-scraping. Is Ruby on Rails too big a framework for something this simple? Yes, but packaging was easy and we have free reign on scaling up the codebase.

To-Do List

• Clean up code
• Documentation
• Put up a link on the website stating that it is now open-source, and have that link to the GitHub repository
• Prettier design
• Cross-reference ESPN team names with sub-reddit flairs and use this data to generate threads with flairs intact.
• Revamp the whole website so that users don't have to go to ESPN and manually type in a link. We keep track of CFB, NFL, CBB, and NBA games and will instead let users select which recently finished game they want to post.
