+time-wasting-thread-memorial
+============================
+
+A browsable, scrapeable version of [Derpibooru](https://derpibooru.org)'s first 
+[time wasting thread](https://derpiboo.ru/forums/dis/topics/the-time-wasting-thread).
+
+This includes the 
+[scripts](https://github.com/Xe/time-wasting-thread-memorial/tree/master/scripts) 
+I used to collect and massage the data into a database, a raw copy of all of 
+the post data, and a Haskell web application for browsing them.
