FFExtract

I've been trying to convince one of my friends to buy a reader, but the one thing that is holding her back is the lack of an easy way to get her favorite stories on sites like Fanfiction.net, FictionPress, etc. on it. So, I spent the last to days coding, and FFExtract 0.1 was born! It takes input of the story ID of any story on FanFiction.Net and downloads chapters, then converts it into an RTF file. Everything is hand coded in Java, an the source code will be released under GPL when I feel happy with what I've done.

REMEMBER: THIS IS MERELY A PROOF OF CONCEPT AT THE MOMENT, SO DON'T EXPECT IT TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS... yet.
Limitations of 0.1:
  • Stories are not guaranteed to work
  • There's no real GUI in place yet, just Java popups
  • Only FanFiction.net is supported at the moment
  • Only outputs in RTF format
  • Doesn't support divider lines
  • Only downloads 2 chapters at the moment

Feedback is appreciated!
