Shit for Making Websites
- glomph 13y agoRead this as shirt for making websites. I was expecting some satire on the millions of websites for making shirts.
- deleted_account 13y agoBy all appearances this is a trickle of links vaguely related to web development. Thanks for sharing? edit: I'd be more interested in how you're using ifttt, pinboard, and wordpress to generate the site.
- 100k 13y agoI'm curious about how the site is created as well. Is there an IFTTT recipe for posting to WordPress from Pinboard?
- minimaxir 13y agoPinboard is a (newly) supported Channel for IFTTT, so a recipe for Pinboard -> Wordpress is simple to create. https://ifttt.com/pinboard https://ifttt.com/pinboard You can do a lot of hacky stuff with IFTTT if you play with RSS too. For reference, I made a Reddit image auto-downloader in IFTTT by using RSS and Yahoo Pipes awhile ago: http://minimaxir.com/2013/01/if-cute-then-happiness/ http://minimaxir.com/2013/01/if-cute-then-happiness/
- mutagen 13y agoIFTTT is pretty awesome but I've been using the Postalicious plugin for a while to create a linkblog out of my Pinboard bookmarkings via RSS. Speaking of, RSS + IFTTT is great as well. I'm hoping the Google Reader demise indirectly cultivates additional innovation with RSS for these kinds of things.
- deadfall 13y agoPretty awesome. Were you really looking for cute pictures or just proof of concept? :)
- minimaxir 13y agoJust proof of concept. Honestly, if an automation service existed that had the simplicity of IFTTT (in terms of triggers) and the flexibility of running your own code to transform the inputs/outputs, that would be my dream startup.
- Pyramids 13y agoAgreed, hoping Zapier implements something like this soon. Basic transforms / Regex / Basic if statements applied to trigger inputs/outputs would be invaluable.
- binaryorganic 13y agoThe site uses a Pinboard IFTTT trigger to post to WordPress. The title, description and link are all pulled from Pinboard, which makes posting to the blog a pretty fantastic process. Our post about some of the thoughts behind the process was featured on Medium back in March: https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/1d87f0e7209d https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/1d87f0e7209d
- dinduks 13y agoI tired of seeing people posting stuff without explaining what is it about. Please do it next time, because I'm not gonna search for it.
- kamakazizuru 13y ago"Please do it next time, because I'm not gonna search for it."..because that would be such a loss to them... its pretty obvious / self explanatory..
- thejosh 13y agoI'm pretty sure "shit for making websites" pretty much covers the topic here.
- ars 13y agoNo it doesn't. I thought it meant that someone got reprimanded or criticized because he made a website. Or perhaps paid poorly. The actual meaning used here never even occurred to me.
- NIL8 13y agoWow. It amazes me how people interpret things differently. Not that there's anything wrong with what you thought, it's just interesting.
- stephengillie 13y agoIf you're planning on being uninformed about what's going on around here and how you're missing out on purpose, please stop posting here.
- yalestar 13y agoWill do! Sorry coach!
- pbreit 13y agoNot sure than I can think of a worse way to organize such content than by reverse chronological posting date. Also not a big fan of profanity for this purpose (call me a prude).
- minimaxir 13y agoAnd yet, despite the profanity, the post is #2 on the front page. Welcome to the wild world of growth hacking!
- SethMurphy 13y agoHN is not the world but a tiny microcosm. I am also not sure the profanity in the URL is responsible for the position. The HN title would have been enough if it is indeed the deciding factor of popularity. By using profanity he has shut out every kid trying to learn at school or a person at a library or business sitting behind a filter in order to pander to the programming "elite".
- nknighthb 13y agoI'd like to see a transcript Carlin's Seven Dirty Words embedded in every website. Acquiescing to puritanical fools merely encourages them.
- hydralist 13y agodisregard the comments, this is a very useful website. thanks X4 :)
- X4 13y agoThank you @hydralist
- ekianjo 13y agoThere's a similar resource out there : http://thetoolbox.cc/ http://thetoolbox.cc/ which is way better, I believe, and made by frequent hn contributor sgdesign.
- niggatitus 13y agoI can second this, thetoolbox.cc is far superior.
- Killah911 13y agoI agree, this site is a better aggregation of resources for web devs, alas, without the explitive in the URL.
- nekojima 13y agoWhich is why I didn't read this the first day I saw it (the expletive), while at work. Only looking the second day it was up on the first page, when I was at home and curious why it was still popular.
- sgdesign 13y agoThanks! There's also http://www.agiledesigners.com/ http://www.agiledesigners.com/, which I think is even better than The Toolbox. Although more design-oriented.
- Goopplesoft 13y agoThese types of links are why I love these types of posts.
- weavie 13y agoThat's another day of work lost.
- simonebrunozzi 13y ago
- DennisP 13y agoCollaborative screen sharing with two cursors? Engelbart would be happy. http://screenhero.com/ http://screenhero.com/
- brianzelip 13y agothanks very much for posting this, I appreciate learning about useful resources.
- ryderm 13y agoI thought that this list was pretty great. I don't write much js, but http://adamschwartz.co/log/ http://adamschwartz.co/log/ looks awesome.
- circa 13y agothis is great. haha. I needed that today.
- d0m 13y agoThanks for sharing, some beautiful gems in it.. More specifically, didn't know about Duet. That's a beautifully designed website!
- dombili 13y agoThat live editing CSS thing looks awesome, but it's been a few months since the video was released. Is it still an active project?
- oliverhunt 13y agoIm fairly certain that if you are on a mac you can do this with codekit or livereload
- dombili 13y agoI'm not :(
- Braveatom 13y agoTheres Prepros thats supposed to be similar to Codekit for both OSX + Windows http://alphapixels.com/prepros/ http://alphapixels.com/prepros/
- dombili 13y agoI actually prefer a Sublime Text plugin just like in the video, but I'll check Prepros out. Thanks! Edit: Prepros is not the program I'm looking for. Meh.
- robluu 13y agoSaved!
- almost 13y agoOh wow, Duet (project management app, http://duetapp.com http://duetapp.com ) is exactly what I've been looking for. This is going to make my life so much easier! I'm buying it right now.
- wubbfindel 13y agoBefore I looked I thought it was going to be about tools that are rubbish for making websites. Possibly the makers of the listed resources & tools will not want their product related to a word synonymous with crap.
- cburgmer 13y agoStarts with a good set of things everybody might need, and then quickly trails off into an opinionated set of rather random things
- rgonzalez 13y agolol best name ever... thanks for sharing.
