A river4 NodeJS callback script to add new incoming items to Pinboard.

[Nicolas Meier]

Hi,

I have seen yesterday that Dave recently added a callback feature to River4.
I wrote a small script that uses the callback mechanism to add incoming items to Pinboard.
The script can be downloaded on GitHub. Just follow the setup instructions in the README.md file.
Bookmarks are added with the from:river4 tag.

I am curious about how or why one would do this?

Do you use Pinboard?

Some archive their Twitter accounts in Pinboard, I just want to be able to do the same with the RSS feeds I read.
That way I don't have to do it manually.

Moreover I have an archival account, so Pinboard download a copy of all those web pages.

I think I'll add a config option to filter out unwanted feeds.

You can probably search your river on Pinboard, now that you have the two services connected.

Andrew Shell uses this to connect his river up to Redis, an object database. I forwarded an email to this list at the time the addToRiver callback came online.

I also have some rivers connected up to Twitter accounts.

I'm not using the callback for this, because it didn't exist at the time I wrote the code for these Twitter feeds.

Exactly, Pinboard allows you to full-text search your bookmarks when you have an archival account.

I noticed a couple of interesting things about your code.

https://github.com/nicolasm/river4AddToPinboard/blob/master/addToPinboard.js

1. You're using a package in the callback. I wasn't sure if that would work. Now I know it does. ;-)

2. You're storing data in the river4.js config.json. Why not. I would probably do it too. I guess the question of naming collisions will come up at some point, so it's good to be upfront about what you're using. It's right there in the code.
