• Tag Handling: Dynamically map and translate tags to user-defined categories for better organization.
• Pluggable Scrapers: Easily extend support for new websites by implementing custom scraper classes.
• CLI and Web Integration: Use the functionality in scripts or integrate it into web applications using Flask.
