Automated weekly links posts with raindrop.io and Eleventy

This is so cool by Sophie. Over the years, I’ve gone from “we need to build bespoke” to “let’s stitch some services together for the first iteration > measure > then use that to build bespoke if still required”.

Sophie’s new weekly link posts setup is exactly that: some stitched services that do the job for her. It also has little to no impact on her existing way of doing things and saving links.

It fills a real need for human curation too. I’m glad Sophie cited Cassidy’s post because it’s a shared feeling (and worry) for many. Aside from the ongoing destruction of Twitter: publishers like CSS-Tricks and A List Apart seem to be no longer with us which reduces curation sources.

I hope people are inspired by Sophie’s setup because I certainly am and will be doing more to post link posts (like this one) to help fill the void left behind in terms of curation.
