https://github.com/aerits/Better-Novelupdates-RSS IDK if this is the right place for this, but I just wanted to share this little script that allows you to mark chapters on novelupdates as read from the terminal. I got annoyed from having to go to novelupdates.com to mark chapters as read when reading from the rss feed so I made this. Its a python script because then it should be easy to code an implementation into your rss feed reader of choice.
It seems you have to log into NU from the browser regardless and then your script will only work if you have an active session with a login. If it's expires or you haven't logged in/your IP changed, it will break. Also, I think you had to use the web browser partially because of this reason, or large amount of js can do that too. And a good alternative can be lynx, which can help with that as well. Oh, and the stupid DDOS protection thing I think is enabled here which you would need to bypass (the cloudflare thing). This is nice, but I think it would be suited better for a browser plugin or a custom script that will either show a button next to what you are reading or capture your chapter click and make that read. Or something.
This is pretty great! I think this is a very good way to learn coding better, by making cool applications out of it~
