Hello
blubox is a little web app that takes the most recent videos posted on metafilter.com and turns them into a continuous YouTube playlist. It's currently kinda weird on mobile but does work.
See the live demo on extrafuture.com
Yes and...
blubox was made by @philnelson, and it's two things:
-
A python3-based script that requires the BeautifulSoup, requests, json, urllib, isodate, and datetime python libraries. It pulls this page from metafilter every hour and caches the results as a JSON file.
-
An HTML, javascript, and jquery page that takes said JSON file and uses the YouTube iframe API to load the 10 most recent videos as a queue.
It'll probably work, but like, I dunno.
