Show HN: Native Article on Twitter

Posted by xdamman on Friday July 03, 2015 @03:59PM
from the show-hn dept.

I'm currently traveling the world and I was tired of having to download 2MB+ of data to open any link on Twitter and wait 10+ seconds for it to load. Data is expensive abroad and I don't have LTE everywhere. So I built a Twitter bot @NativeArticle that automatically tweets screenshots of the mobile version of a url. Images load much faster on Twitter than opening the original page. And it only...

That would be awesome. Maybe we can do a Chrome Extension that would automatically find the initial photo using Google Image Search?

Yes please, just code.

But "no politics" should not be an excuse to close our eyes in front of real world problems. Hackers can help without having to take side.

Sorry didn't mean to be rude by saying that. I just wanted to frame the conversation.

I like the idea of a Uber for Ambulances, although not for the use case you suggest obviously.

This is how I send the data to a default webhook https://github.com/xdamman/ReplayLastGoal/blob/master/hooks/...

It's being sent as a classic POST request. You should be getting the following attributes: text=Goal for Belgium! #URU 1-1 #ENG #WorldCup \n📺Video: gif=http://replaylastgoal.com/videos/2014-06-19-20-31-24.gif video=... ...

They didn't send me a take down request. They've only sent it to Twitter and Twitter didn't take the account down (yet). It looks like they pushed back and asked them to specify which tweets were infringing, leading to the removal of animated gif in some tweets 24-48h after they were sent.

I was referring to the id that I give you after you fill out the form to add your hook.

Don't worry, if you send me the webhook url I can also find it back in the db and activate it for you.

Sorry for the inconvenience! See my comments above. Please let me know if you are still experiencing this issue. You can also just let me know the id you received and I can activate it for you.

Ok so I'm finally back on a computer. There are 158 webhooks registered. The ones for hipchat are mostly activated, but only a few for Slack are. Weird. Anyway, you should have received a link with the following format: http://replaylastgoal.com/hooks/activate?service=slack&id=ab... Replace id with your id and that should work. Not sure what happened. Still investigating. Ping me on twitter @xdamman or gmail (same username) if you are still experiencing an issue when trying to activate your hook. I'll send a reminder to activate the hook for the ones that haven't been activated by tomorrow before the game.

Thanks for reporting. I'll fix this bug later today when I'm back at a computer. More than 100 teams got the notifications during the game Belgium USA so it's working.

You can now share Twitter conversations with Storify and Tweetbot

Which analytics system to record events in XHR?

Posted by xdamman on Friday July 30, 2010 @02:17PM
from the self-post dept.

Hi,I want to record all events on a widget which is not in an iframe. So Google Analytics doesn't work. The only way is to make XHR calls to record the event. Typically I could use: $(domelement).bind('click',function() { $.getJSON('kickassanalyticssystem.com/record/event/domelement/click'); });The question is what is the kickassanalyticssystem.com? I tried Chartbeat.com but their API only...
