dRekhta

This is a continuation for scraperForLitUrdu repo, which has now been made into an android app with the same node.js backend plus some improvements.

This has been built only in 2 days, so pardon the bad UI. If you can improve the UI, please do create a pull request.

How to use

Copy links to scrape

1. Go to rekhta.org and go to a poet's/author's listing page, e.g. Ghalib's all ghazals https://www.rekhta.org/poets/mirza-ghalib/ghazals?lang=ur
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page so that all the links are loaded.
3. Add CopyRekhtaLinks bookmarklet from here to copy all links. (In PC, simply drag-drop the link to bookmarks bar. In android phone, copy the link, create a new bookmark and paste.)
4. When you're on poet's listing page, use CopyRekhtaLinks bookmarklet. In PC, just click the bookmark. In android, type the name in the address-bar and select CopyRekhtaLinks bookmark you saved in step 3.
5. Congratulations! You have copied all the links.

Use dRekhta

1. Paste in all the links in dRekhta's top text-area. Input a file name.
