Artwatcher Update by JackMcslay

So I'm making this update to give the status of the development of Artwatcher.

Development has been slow, I know, I've been busy and as such I can only spend so much time on a project that isn't giving me real returns. The good news is: next release will be 1.0, because it should be robust and lightweight enough to be considered stable. The solution is: next release will be a standalone browser rather than a local webservice.

That means it will be easier to implement further support (TECHNICAL: because I don't have to emulate a browser but rather just let the user login on the site himself and use the response cookies to authenticate) in addition that the following features will also be possible in the future:

  • Switching between multiple accounts on a site
  • Unobstrusive browsing, without annoying popups by fine-tuning to browsing art sites
  • API to allow sites to interact with the browser - enables your own site to connect to it, for instance
  • Lightweight execution, loading only the modules when necessary

In addition I will make sure that the next release will have proper installers for Windows and Debian-based Linux in addition to an universal Jar file so people running other linux or MacOS should still be able to run it via command line through their JVM.
