Could we rebuild this as a webpage? I imagine we could get a lot of reach and use from people who are unfamiliar with the command line.

It doesn't seem insane to port this over to a js script , and have users wait and let the script run clientside. We could host it as a Github page, maybe even use GAuth instead of turning on less-secure apps.

Happy to help build the front end, would need help to port the python to js script though.
