I think the cats out of the bag already - I’ve seen a “coom dl” GUI and something CLI in the wild but not sure if they handle Kemono
From a programming standpoint kemono is a bit harder to pull off because they use a lot of archivers and have more foreign creators as the most popular results
However yes, it's a relatively simple program from a programming standpoint, however I tried to make the GUIs as QoL as possible with multithreading and a file downloading lib that allows fast and efficient multipart downloading which circumvents a lot of RAM requirements if the entire download is stored into RAM (such is the case with the C# REST library)
Another benefit of kemono is that it isn't STRICTLY for pornographic content and has a variety of patreon files which my scraper also supports. Currently only discord is unsupported at the moment solely because parsing the HTML is extremely annoying as they basically piggybacked the actual discord service's URL scheme
