Hi Ben!


>Why is this useful to do programmatically?


having access to the website by code is useful to know when some new images are available, moreover
is nice to have for the "alt" stuff, not visible from Android (e.g.) and from some older browsers.

the API has some *nice* additions, I thought it was worth a packaging


>Then, isn't its name a trademark infringement?


well, IANAL, but on the xkcd website there is no trademark mentioning, and all the work is CC licensed.
(not that we should care about the images, since they are not packaged in any way)

cheers,

G.
