Notes -
Mostly monitoring the situation and fixing the odd bug that pops up. Things are pretty stable, so I've been plotting my next move.
Not gonna lie, the main reason this project got as far as it did is using the old nitter+miniflux setup daily, the thought of returning to Twitter, or even just plain old Nitter is unfathomable to me at this point, and it's been driving me to power through until I got something usable. While there's a whole bunch of basic features I should add to make it reasonably usable to anyone who isn't me, the thought of working on them instantly sends me into a comma. OTOH, I've found myself more and more frustrated with Substack, and thinking that it sure would be nice to be able to follow all the people from there on the same app I use to keep track of Twitter. Importing articles would be easy enough, but I think I'm more interested in the "Notes", but the prospect of integrating them was daunting. Cursory searches revealed no alternative Substack readers that I could raid for code, so I thought it would take forever to figure out how to deal with their API... until I actually looked at it. Turns out you can literally just fetch Notes with
curl, so I won't have to worry about reverse-engineering their authentication process, unless I'll want to implement fetching paid content.How have you been doing @Southkraut?
No progress. Thanks for asking anyways.
