Wishboard (A work in progress)

I love pinboard. Love, love, love. So I wrote a little Sinatra app that allows you to tag any bookmark with “want”, and have it displayed as a sorta-pretty wishlist with tags and filtering.

The service can be found (for now) hosted on a free Heroku instance at wishboard.heroku.com. The source is available on github.

Simply go to wishboard.heroku.com/<your-pinboard-username>, and you’ll be able to see your generated wishlist. For example, check out mine. Wishboard doesn’t display anything that isn’t public already, so there’s no auth involved. It’s just a public RSS feed and some ruby and CSS.

If you want to help fix my shitty CSS, my shitty Ruby, or my shitty HTML, please. By all means. Feel free to fork the hell out of it.

Quick disclaimer: I’m totally cribbing Brett Terpstra’s fantastic custom pinboard stylesheet (available here) for the styling as it exists right now. I don’t know CSS at all, so it’s been great to be able to dig through his and try to figure out what he’s doing and how. So thanks, Brett. Huge fan.
