Get it here
So I wanted a nice, usable way to access 4chan (and derivatives) in a desktop app and was unable to find anything that provided the functionality I desired (actually working, for instance). The primary use for this would be to scrape images from a ... wallpaper thread and tag them and avoid downloading duplicates.
I wanted to do this project because it's an relatively simple challenge, will require me to get the hang of GUI programming, and has some really cool possible extensions (like using machine learning to sort threads by likelihood of user wanting to see them). At the same time it poses some genuinely cool programming challenges (like image fingerprinting, something for which no python libraries exist as far as I can tell).
The code is in no way ready and I'll probably end up writing it from scratch at least twice before I settle on something nicer.
Nevertheless it does have some useful BeautifulSoup for grabbing stuff from 4chan so if you want to use it it's available on Bitbucket and needs generally finishing off.
