By 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.

I'm curious about how the site is created as well. Is there an IFTTT recipe for posting to WordPress from Pinboard?

  Pinboard 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/

    IFTTT 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.

    Pretty awesome. Were you really looking for cute pictures or just proof of concept? :)

      Just 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.

        Agreed, hoping Zapier implements something like this soon. Basic transforms / Regex / Basic if statements applied to trigger inputs/outputs would be invaluable.

The 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
