Hey, thanks for the requests. I was originally planning on adding rule34.paheal.net, but they don't have a public API so I opted for rule34.xxx instead. The only other option is web-scraping--which Zenith Grabber doesn't support.

I don't personally see an uninstaller as being required since the program is 99.99% portable. If you want to remove *everything* (which only saves you a few kb of storage), you can delete the external data folder located at:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\stoozey_\GRABBER-ZENITH

you should probably create a read me then so people know where it is if they want to remove it.

also what's the difference between scraping and grabbing? aren't they the same?

sorry I'm kinda new to this type of tech.

Good point, I will add a readme in the next update.

Scraping and using an API are very different. APIs are typically hosted on a separate domain and present you information in a text format that is designed for code to easily and efficiently read.
Scraping, on the other hand, is going onto the main website itself and manually digging through all of the HTML to get information. That is not only really slow, inefficient, and time-consuming to implement, but if the website host ever decides to change it's layout it becomes obsolete and needs to be completely rewritten.
