- MemphisTrain 2y agoInteresting read
- johng 2y agoI used to finger John carmack for updates all the time when I was in high school.
- nbbaier 2y agoWhat are you using this for? It's really cool, but I'm struggling to find a use
- MemphisTrain 2y agoCurrently trying to get friends to use it, and eventually having a dashboard that I can just leave open in a tab and check once in a while to get a glimpse of things happening. Not sure if that'll work though.
- threecheese 2y agoWhat a great idea! Ones server could serve the latest tweet, or current location, anything. I think there are a lot of risks, sanitizing input from “random” hosts mostly, there’s a chance that it could hurt your server when retrieved/stored or the client when it’s rendered. I wonder if you converted the curl results to a small gif, would that help or hurt the experience? One could run the conversion code in some sandbox, like FaaS.
- MemphisTrain 2y agoThe text stored "should" be sanitized by the framework I'm using. Hopefully nothing funny happens.
