    Is Twitter API (still) free?

  • I challenged myself to avoid any extra packages, so the generator logic is written in vanilla JavaScript with a few Node.js built-in libraries. I'm using the built-in fetch function, which is available without any flags since Node.js 18.

  • mastofeedbot

    A bot that posts RSS feeds to Mastodon via GitHub Actions

  • For posting to Mastodon, I originally tried Mastofeed, but I haven't figured a way to include the content of the feed entry in the post. I've turned to GitHub Actions, particularly Mastofeedbot, which runs as a separate action after the site is updated.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • GoatCounter

    Easy web analytics. No tracking of personal data.

  • I'm also curious about how many visitors my silly site gets. Goat Counter is a perfect web analytics tool for this kind of project, free and privacy-friendly. In fact, you can view the traffic to the site on a public dashboard.

  • proposal-temporal

    Provides standard objects and functions for working with dates and times.

  • While the manipulation with dates is still painful, Intl APIs simplify at least formatting. I'm looking forward to the stable support for Temporal API.
