Getting back into it ... (IT WOULD BE NICE IF HACKADAY HAD AN API TO CREATE PAGES AND PROJECTS)

Hey there,


It's been a while since I posted anything to hackaday.

Over three years, in fact, since October, 2019.

I still haven't found a good pipeline to allow me to create projects on github, and then denormalize the content to hackaday, youtube, and thingiverse.

It is very time consuming to put it all on github, then produce youtube videos and thingiverse pages for each project, and then use hackaday for the final presentation.

Nonetheless I have continued doing projects continuously since my last post.  Some of those projects have been well documented on github, and even on youtube, but even there I have fallen far behind, only taking a very limited set of projects that I completed public, while some very interesting projects, due to dependencies on some private source code, and/or pure laziness, have not been publicly revealed or documented.

I am going to try to remedy that by focusing on documentation, and avoiding new projects for a while.

That means that you will (hopefully) be seeing some projects presented here that took place a while ago, and the date-time stamps on the projects, and pages here on hackaday will not be representative of when the projects actually took place.


My goal is to try to get caught up a bit, so that I meet the basic goals of presenting open source projects on github and thingiverse and using hackaday and youtube to nicely present them in a more entertaining manner.


So, please bear with me as I work through the process.  I will be thinking about a good way to maintain all of this documentation.

If anyone has a good way to automatically generate hackaday pages and projects, something I could run against my github readme files which would generate the basic info on hackaday, that would be handy. 

Same for thingiverse ... I'd like to present my 3D printing and laser cut stuff there, but have it driven from readme (MD) files I create and put on github.

LOL, that might become a project of it's own :-)

Thanks,

- Patrick
