Thanks. I've been trying to use pipelines in my designs lately and this has given me lots to think about. My day job is all about data and reports so I'm thinking of generating static reports with something like this.

I've been looking for a good .Net static site generator and an excuse to try VS Code. Thanks for solving both those problems Dave. :-)

Great article.

I had to make one small change to the scrapper_App-V.py code to get it to run.

In get_threads_url change '?outputAs=xml' to '&outputAs=xml'

Great post David.

A lot of people overlook the "social" part of social media. What is considered rude behavior in offline social situations also applies online. If a stranger came up to a group at a party, introduced themselves and then immediately launched into a sales pitch would that be ok ? Probably not.

Adding value to the community is the key to social media success.
