The source code of my webplatformdaily.org site

Primary LanguageJavaScript

What's coming next for this daily?

Next I'm implementing some sort of search functionality. So, you enter a term like "WebGL" and the entire database is filtered by that term.

Is there an RSS feed?

Nope. It'll come eventually.

When are new dailies released?

Weekdays around 5 pm ECT (European time).

Where is the data stored?

In Markdown files, which makes it open source. You're free to use the data anyhow you like.

What goes into creating a daily?

I gather the content from Twitter, i.e. from the tweets of the ~130 people I follow on Twitter. Usually, I select around 40-50 tweets (potential entries). Then, based on those tweets I create around 20-30 entries for the daily.

What topics are covered?

  • Open Web Platform (including the open standards that comprise it)
  • JavaScript (the core language and libraries written in it)
  • web-browsers (including their development tools)
  • front-end web-development in general
  • open source to some degree (e.g. GitHub related content)
  • openness (open data)
  • privacy

How do you decide what goes into a daily?

The general rule is that the content should be recent (say, less than 2 weeks old) and relevant for the majority of visitors.

May I suggest content?

Sure. Just mention @simevidas on Twitter.
