Code Project – Python – Improved FreshRSS Link Lists

Today, I want to talk about recent improvements I have made on my FreshRSS to Wordpress Digest Python script. And to make a note on what I would like to do next. This is the script I used to produce these Link List Posts on [Blogging Intensifies] and Lameazoid. The Github Repository for it is here. The first version was simple, it pulled from the sharded feed of FreshRSS, collected favorited articles, formatted them a bit, then posted a wordpress post of links. Overtime, I wanted these posts to be prettier, so I added a bit more massaging to the…

Twitter Archive to Markdown

I have been wanting to convert my Twitter Export archive into a more useful format for a while. I had vague dreams of maybe turning them into some sort of digest posts on WordPress but there are a fuckton of tweets (25,000) and it would require a LOT of scrubbing. I could probably manage to find and remove Retweets pretty easily, but then there is the issue of media and getting the images into the digest posts and it's just not worth the hassle. What I can, and did do, is preserve the data is a better, more digestible, and…

Free Code Camp Responsive Web Design

I have a huge pile of online courses bookmarked that I would like to run through. This does have some pitfalls, maybe I'll get to that another day. Today I want to discuss one I finished. The FreeCodeCamp Responsive Web Design course. You get a little certification for completing these, which mostly just bolsters the part of me that, doesn't really find much value in certifications. I didn't really need to take this course, but it's part of the basic "core list" on FreeCodeCamp's website, and my obsessive completionism mind says I should do those, in addition to anything else…

Code Project – Goodreads RSS to HTML (Python)

I already have my Letterboxed watches set up to syndicate here, to this blog, for archival purposes mostly. When I log a movie in Letterboxed, a plug-in catches it from the RSS feed and makes a post. This is done using a plug-in called "RSS Importer" They aren't the prettiest posts, I may look into adjusting the formatting with some CSS, but they are there. I really want to do the same for my Goodreads reading. Goodreads lists all have an RSS feed, so reason would have it that I could simply, put that feed into RSS Importer and have…

Code Project: Fresh RSS to WordPress Digest V 2

A while back, I talked about a little simple project that I build that produces a daily RSS digest post on this blog. This of course broke when my RSS Reader died on me. I managed to get Fresh RSS up and running again in Docker, and I've been slowly recovering my feeds, which is incredibly slow and tedious to do because there are a shitload of feeds, and i essentially have to cut and paste each URL into FreshRSS, and select the category and half the time they don't work, so I need to make a note of it…
