I realized today that, as of this month, my /now page is, in fact, a “year ago” page. I’d love to automate it with what I’m watching, bookmarking, listening to, etc. a la @robb@social.lol, but I’m afraid I don’t have the code chops yet to figure it all out. I’d settle for some iframes from services!

@jarrod A lot of services provide an RSS feed that allow you to do it pretty easily. Letterboxed, Pinboard, Micro.blog's stuff are all pretty simple. You can use this service as a starting point.

@Mtt You're the best, Matt, thank you! This is just exactly the type of thing I was hoping to surface by wishing into the void. 😄 I was looking into RSS to iframe converters, but this might be perfect. I'll dig into it tonight.

@jarrod +1 to what @Mtt said. In fact, he helped me configure my /Now page. I switched to Raindrop that has a widget for selected bookmarks. The Trakt feed is a bit weird and didn't want to be styled hence the widget too.

@jarrod I did a couple a while ago, I believe for @pratik. Every feed has its own little nuances that have to be worked out, but we got mostly there in the end.

@pratik @Mtt Thanks for the example. I'll see what I can cook up, but might reach out if I get stuck, if that's okay?

@jarrod This is like the mountain coming to Mohammad 🙃 But sure, I can answer what I envisioned. @mtt can answer code questions. BTW I'm thinking of revising my site homepage to the /Now page or rather, something in that vein. Still thinking about what elements I want to add and how. I may (finally) switch to Tiny Theme coz it may easier than me trying to do more with my custom theme.
