 # The Hub Scraper
 
-This is a simple scraper that extracts job details from the [The Hub](https://thehub.io) website.
+deprecated as lambda was a bad solution for this, without setting up dynamodb, api etc. This will go live in a ec2 so it can write to local storage instead of running on demand.
 
-## Usage
+Go is fast but free tier lambda is not and I am not yet a smart man.
 
-To run the scraper, simply execute the following command:
+<del>This is  a simple scraper that extracts job details from the [The Hub](https://thehub.io) website.</del>
 
-```bash
-go run scraper.go
-```
+<del>It's a fork of the original [The Hub Scraper](https://gitea.rannes.dev/rannes.dev/sw-jobs-go) by [Rannes](https://gitea.rannes.dev/rannes.dev).</del>
 
-The scraper will create a `jobs.json` file in the current directory, which contains a list of job details in JSON format.
+<del>## Usage</del>
+
+<del>To run the scraper zip it deploy it to AWS Lambda and then call the function. </del>
