Hey! is a small search engine I'm making.
This is its web crawler.

Timeline

Heyo! I made the crawler a LOT faster. The downside is, it's using ALL my CPU, and it's slowing down because my CPU's lagging. I've tried running it on Github Actions, but the file was WAY to large. Also, it's so large my screen recording feature doesn't work ;-;
I might have to find a way around this bug. I ordered a Raspberry Pi off SOM, so that should fix the issue.

Should clarify, it was taking all my CPU so when I tried to save the screen recording, Finder crashed ;-; and it couldn’t save it

Alright, after working a bit more on the crawler, I have an idea (google pls hire me)

So, basically, my crawler now outputs information like this. It has a lot of whitespaces, which means that the data would require a bit more Kilobytes. however, not only does this easily seperate the text in the URL, it also seperates text that could be searched in different ways, much more easily (eg. GooglePlay and Google Play and accidentally typing G oogle P lay are the same thing).
