A Curious Animal

Yet another tech blog by @acanimal.

---

Created with Gatsby from the starter julia and made a bunch of modifications:

• Allowed to create pages as markdown: about, project, etc
• Blog section
  • Paginated
  • Follow the jekyll slug /YYYY/MM/DD/title
• Autodeploy to github with > yarn run deploy

Note the main branch is gatsby. When you deploy the site is built and uploaded to master branch, the one configured to work with gh-pages.

Digest

I store any link that catch my attention using raindrop.io service. Then, anytime I want to create a new digest entry:

• Scrap content from the raindrop.io collection using webscrapper extension using the next scraper configuration:

  {"_id":"raindrop_acanimal","startUrl":["https://app.raindrop.io/#/collection/9419644"],"selectors":[{"id":"title","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["article"],"selector":"span.title","multiple":false,"regex":"","delay":0},{"id":"description","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["article"],"selector":"p.description","multiple":false,"regex":"","delay":0},{"id":"cover","type":"SelectorImage","parentSelectors":["article"],"selector":"img.cover","multiple":false,"delay":0},{"id":"article","type":"SelectorElement","parentSelectors":["_root"],"selector":"article.element-list","multiple":true,"delay":0},{"id":"url","type":"SelectorLink","parentSelectors":["article"],"selector":"a.permalink","multiple":false,"delay":0},{"id":"domain","type":"SelectorText","parentSelectors":["article"],"selector":"div.info > div.info-domain","multiple":false,"regex":"","delay":0}]}

• Converter CSV to JSON (use any only service like csv2json
• Modify slightly the JSON to have the next structure:

  {
  "name": "Some title (optional). Let empty string to infer the name from the date",
  "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "items": [
    {
      "title": "link title",
      "description": "link description",
      "cover-src": "link cover image",
      "url-href": "link source url"
    }
  ]
