Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Hey all,

I’m looking to grab the audio files from Blinkist (I have an annual subscription if that matters) because I want to be able to listen to them at a slightly faster speed and their in app player doesn’t allow this.

Is there a way to either rip these from the site using a scraper - the Blinkist-m4a-downloader on GitHub doesn’t work anymore - or I guess automate a process to save the books in app, download them - audio files are streamed but you can save and download for offline playback within the app - and three somehow pull them off my phone storage?

Not right now, but I will see if I can figure something out.
