I'm changing the way I share links around the web.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<!-- more -->
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a while, I used my [Mastodon
|
||
|
|
Account](https://functional.cafe/@juliobiason) to share interesting links from
|
||
|
|
different subjects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Today I decided to change that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From now on, instead of sharing links directly on the microblogging site, I'll
|
||
|
|
make one post per day[^1] with links for different subjects that I collect
|
||
|
|
around the web. The difference between those two, besides the fact that I used
|
||
|
|
to post one toot[^2] per link and now it will be a post with several links, is
|
||
|
|
that I'll add some small information about the link itself or its content.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In case you're wondering why the change, the reason is that I realized it is
|
||
|
|
way better to `grep` the content of this blog than using the search feature of
|
||
|
|
DayOne, which collects all the toots I do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{% note() %}
|
||
|
|
Just to explain how I collect those links:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. I favourite toots and some tweets;
|
||
|
|
2. Every morning, I run [downfav](https://git.juliobiason.me/downfav.git/) to
|
||
|
|
collect those toots and save them locally;
|
||
|
|
3. A small Python script (which I want to replace at some point) uploads the
|
||
|
|
saved texts to my [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org/);
|
||
|
|
4. I check a specific Notebook (the one the Python script uploads things to)
|
||
|
|
for things that have links;
|
||
|
|
5. I click the links, which open a tab on Firefox;
|
||
|
|
6. Repeat 4 till all links have been clicked;
|
||
|
|
7. Read posts;
|
||
|
|
8. If interesting, make a toot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The step I'm changing is the 8th: Instead of making a toot for each link, I'm
|
||
|
|
going to start a blog post, add every interesting link, add a comment about it
|
||
|
|
(something missing in the previous flow) and then post everything.
|
||
|
|

[^1]: People who remember "Delicious" (or "De.li.cio.us") may remember that it
|
||
|
|
had a feature that it will make a post on a WordPress install with the links
|
||
|
|
you captured the day before. This is basically me resurrecting this, but in
|
||
|
|
a manual form.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[^2]: For those who don't know Mastodon, a "toot" is a post, kinda like
|
||
|
|
Twitter calls its posts "tweets".
