RE: Positivity Challenge #3 10/10/2016
Thank you for including me in the post :). I really put a lot of effort into that article on Stoicism and Homelessness.
So having something so lightweight this week is really nice.
I am in a foreign country where there is some language barrier so it will be interesting. For whatever reason, I find it easier to just randomly help people when I speak the language so I was doing it slightly less here. But now that I've been challenged ... Here we go
@positivity Another unrelated thing, I was thinking of creating a Script the other day, maaaybe a website, where you can paste all the links you want to add to your articles and it would spit out the Markdown for it.
So for example if you used my link as an example.
It would spit out something like
Suffering Is Great - Why Homelessness Stoicism and Minimalism Keeps Me Happy and Steady as a Rock --- by @joewantsfreedom
Would you be interested in something like that? If so, what OS are you running? I might just make it into a web app (though I am horrible at making those) so other people can use it too.
I'd love that. And with your offer of help you've just smashed this weeks competition - if it's an example you're prepared to give then write it up!!
I've always thought these updates could do with a bit of careful formatting. I think I'll strive to do that :)
@positivity so here is the first version of the curation helper
Let me know any feedback.
Just paste links one per line and you get a nice output down.
You'll have to scroll to see it.
I think it;s really ugly and not user friendly right now so I'll change it later on hopefully.
And I think I'll write it up as part of this challenge, with a bit of a twist on it.
But that doesn't mean I can relax and not help any other random person ...
Hope it helps :)
