Since i'm a programmer I work with computers all the time, duh. But hardly anyone leaves their computers locked when they get up to head to the toilet and so on. Time to teach them a lesson.

No one really cares if their background is a 'big black dick' that's obviously a hack and yeah whatever. But if their background is a cringey anime chick, specifically a NSFW anime chick, thats a bit more believable. More embarassing if you ask me.

I made this stupid module to both mess with a coworker and how to make a CLI Application. Then i wanted to learn NPM, specifically the way it works, so I kept it private, mentioned it on twitter once and slowly pushed releases with documentation updates and minor code changes.

How it got popular I genuinely have no idea, but check it out, file an issue if you have one, pretty cool learning experience and eventually it will be updated to scrape wallhaven's NSFW section. They have a dependencie for that so i might go elsewhere to make an actual scraper.

A little unsolicited advice from an old man. There will probably come a day, not too long from now, where you'd rather this were never associated with your real name. It's a fine and interesting thing to try to build it, or maybe even use it on a close friend. But it is very immature. It's probably a turn off to a number of potential employers and collaborators. Maybe enough to matter to you, depending on your current prospects.

By no means is it the worst thing you could make or publicize about yourself. But I don't think, in the grand summation of things, it's a net positive.

Hey Man the advice is absolutely appreciated, It's a bit to late to change the association, the internet is forever and so on. But for the most part I don't mind. I would never hide my quirky side from an employer its what's gotten me in the door in the past 9/10 times. At the same time i wouldn't want to work for someone who didn't want me to have fun. Making stupid shit on the side is fun.

It doesn't use porn, it's not dirty or gross, it's an applicable experiment that i did to learn NPM and all in all it was a valuable experience. The fact that it received attention has driven me to actually work on it :)

It would be my hope that any future employer could understand and appreciate thhis

A brief glance at the source seems to indicate that it only sets the background to https://github.com/builtbyproxy/Weebg/blob/master/weebgRefer... , which seems pretty bland and SFW. Ironically, I've seen worse from the Win10 lockscreen ads...

Yeah for now, I put in the readme its a WIP eventually i will scrape, maybe the wallhaven NSFW section. Still not sure where i'll take it but i definitely have plans. Just didn't expect people to want it.

Ideally i'll have scraping for SFW and NSFW that you can configure upon installation
