Preserving your voting records on Vox Charta with Python

It's been a few months since I have done a tech/hacking post. I figured it might be worthwhile to do a quick one on the recent web scraping work that I did. Vox Charta, a web application that allowed astronomers to vote and discuss about the latest manuscripts made available on arXiv, was conceived in 2009 by James Guillochon. It was used by thousands of astronomers internationally as there was no other options available for several years.
