watmm bad artist name generator

made a lil scraper for the bad artist name thread. it's not perfect, seems it has a lot of false positives such as "lol", "lawl" etc which still need to be filtered.

JSON array with all the 4557 names so far:

someone with a web server should host a thing where it simply picks a random element from the array and displays it -> watmm artist name generator

Nice!

Maybe I could go through the whole list and edit out all the lols and hahas etc

I don't know how to code so it's the least I could do

hey yeah if you can just post a list of obviously wrong matches here I'll put them in a filter

Oh well I did it by hand anyway. I'm sure I've left out some random phrases so hopefully you can get rid of those.

Holy shit- after looking at that page for awhile and closing the browser window, I almost puked.  Also, the page needs a reload/refresh/Gimme Notha Name button.

ok how do you make a button which reloads the page in HTML? I don't know this.

yeh recombination/evolvement of names would be easy but tbh I don't wanna do this. All the current names were made by watmm brains and you can tell tbqh! Many very good/bad ones! Markov-chained ones would produce more, but they would lose a certain edge.

Think I can live with one refresh button (although: don’t you guys have an F5 key?)

two buttons is too much.

I hate websites btw.

All right- refresh button aside (which can be done in javascript), line-height needs to be adjusted.  With long names (or make your window narrow), you can see the line-height is set too low, which makes the words overlap.

h1 {line-height: 4.5rem;} looks all right

Ha!  Simple, is best.

great thanks for these tips you guys! saves me some googling. I know it's embarrassing, I really like programmering, but web stuff was always scary somewhow.

alrighty!

line height fixed and buttn included

lol holy shit, great work!

yeh the only downside rn is that it doesn't automatically fetch new content from the watmms; have to run the scraper locally and push the results to the server. wouldn't be too difficult to have it all on the server but I'm not well versed in JS. If anyone wants to lend a hand with porting the scraper from ObjC to JS let me know bre!

Something like this for the now playing thread would be amazing.

yeah aye, wouldn't be difficult. Basically scrape for Youtube/SoundCloud links, and post an embedded player randomly?
