thinking about the project i found which did something i needed and it was just a mildly overcomplicated python script i could run once and be done with it

anyway the person making it decided to make a "2.0" version which involved slopcoding up a completely new thing from scratch. its now a node.js server application you have to run on a server and then access by web and its ui is so godawful it took me literally half an hour to figure out how to do the literal only thing this application does.
