Scrapy retweeted
“scrapy” became my alter ego.
it all started with my first ever python project, a simple web scraper that pulled headlines from top news sites.
i used the scrapy library by @ScrapyProject.
it wasn’t much, just a script.
but it was the first thing i built that actually worked.
and that made it special.
later, i realized something funny: most of my ideas felt like fragments, messy, raw, not yet stitched together.
so the word “scrapy” stuck.
i even launched a few nft projects under the name “ScrapyNFTs”, none of them took off (my art was pretty scrapy too lol).
nfts introduced me to web3, which led me to explore blockchain…
and eventually evolve into @scrapychain.
10 years after the release of 1.0, Scrapy has become table stakes for modern web scraping projects. Creator Shane Evans talks through Scrapy's current position in the industry.
