Top work.
Wonder what the legal implications for OP might be though.
Wonder what the legal implications for OP might be though.
(And to be honest, that's a fact easier to remember than "whereisscihub.herokuapp.com"; the author should really find an easier url)
Hehe, I guess - I just thought of this and coded it up this morning. Feel free to host it somewhere easier though, it's open source :)
I agree that Wikipedia is easier to remember; it's just that people don't seem to realise that it's always up-to-date, as people keep tweeting the latest links. The point of the website is simply to make it clearer that there's a place to stay up-to-date. (And that you can bookmark for a direct link.)
It's now also available at https://whereisscihub.now.sh/!
I was gonna suggest: http://www.dot.tk if you want your own domain.
If you bookmark the Wikipedia article as well then you have autocomplete for “sci-hub”.
So then together you have autocomplete for both.
However I predict that the Wikipedia article will outlive the site OP made. It’s a fact of life that most sites (including a bunch I made myself so it’s not meant as any form of criticism) don’t last very long, either because the owner forgets to renew the domain or they’ve lost interest and don’t want to pay for it, or their hosting provider shuts down (don’t think heroku will anytime soon though), or the server they are hosted on has a disk malfunction (probably heroku customers will not suffer from that since I think heroku has a redundant storage solution in place), or the site gets out of date in regards to either the runtime on the server or an external API that is being used.
Also, the code is open source, so you can easily fork it and host it on e.g. your own Heroku account :)
I think it is a gray area and the real liability is whoever hosts the website.
