• My first official package on pypi!

  It'd be cool if I could get some constructive criticism on my first python package! It's called gli99 (Gif Like it's '99) and it's a selenium web scraper that gets gifs from gifcities.org and downloads them. It has a GitHub repo and a page on pypi.org. Advice from people who've used Selenium or have just generally made Python packages before would be much appreciated :). Source: over 3 years ago
