Ok, so I've been thinking for a bit, and I know there's a ton of alternative "libre" frontends for websites like YouTube and Reddit. However, I was thinking: what If I just wanted to make my own frontend? Not specifically for the intentions of "libre", but I wanted to change the controls and appearence of the website. I'm honestly unsure of how to approach this. Any thoughts?
if it were me I would use python with flask and requests to scrape the site and provide the data to alternate frontend. there might be more resource efficient ways to do it but this is what i know.
