Whenever I try to run the cmd, I get a big error after a ton of chromium command prompts open (then they close after some time).

Hey @Stanlyhalo! Thanks for opening the issue - I haven't run or tested this library in a while, so it's not too surprising that there's an issue. LMK what OS + arch (x86, M1) you're running running and we'll see what we can do!

Dug in a bit - the hardcider package isn't working because the underlying website (https://www.citationmachine.net/) has changed their frontend. This package is really just a flimsy wrapper that automates navigation using Puppeteer and pops out the result.

I'm going to dig in and see if there's an alternative service that can be used to provide the same functionality, or if there's a way I can deploy a comparable service as a lambda somewhere so this package remains functional.
