🚦 Quick Start

View deadlines

Just open the live site.

Run the scraper locally

pip install -r requirements.txt
python generate_data.py        # writes data.json
# Then open index.html in a browser

Set YEAR_RANGE to control how many years ahead to scan (default: 2):

YEAR_RANGE=3 python generate_data.py

➕ Adding a Conference

Edit series-config.yaml — that's all contributors need to touch:

- slug: icse
  display: ICSE
  full_name: IEEE/ACM Intl. Conf. on Software Engineering

Field	Description
slug	URL slug used on conf.researchr.org
display	Short label shown in the table header
full_name	Full conference name (tooltip / aria)

Re-run generate_data.py to pull dates for the new entry.

🗂️ Project Structure

se-conferences/
├── index.html            # Single-page app — all UI and logic
├── data.json             # Scraped deadline data (auto-generated)
├── conferences-seed.yaml # Hand-curated fallback / override data
├── series-config.yaml    # Conference series to track
└── generate_data.py      # Scraper — reads series-config, writes data.json

🔄 Data Refresh

GitHub Actions runs the scraper on a schedule and commits updated data.json to main. The live site picks up changes automatically via GitHub Pages.

To trigger a manual refresh, re-run the scraper and commit data.json.

🖥️ Server-side alternative

The api branch contains a FastAPI backend with a SQLite database. Use it if you want to self-host a proper server instead of relying on a static data.json file and GitHub Pages.
