Building Fundamental Internet Applications: URL Bookmarking and News Subscription
As usual it's been too long since my last update, so I'm going to restrain from over editing, and simply publish. I'm always trying to get the product perfect before showing it off, or considering it complete, but in reality, these tools are a work in progress that I use everyday.
It is worth taking a moment for me to pay tribute to the open source software that found me in high school and stared my journey as a web developer. The Edge CMS was a PHP framework that I was able to morph into a URL bookmarking in 2001. Even looking at it's source code today, I warmly remember all of the feature it came with including classifieds, news, forums, picture of the day, and more.
Recently I've taken some time to bolster the House.js URL and bookmarking application, which ultimately supports many other functions of the website like blog rss subscription, and saving links for other reasons. At first my goal was simply to bring the frontend user interface up to speed with Bootstrap 3, but with usage, I was quickly fighting bugs and http behaviors.
Now I'm confident that I've at least made progress toward bolstering and hardening the backend web service involved with archiving web URLs. I read the docs and made use of command line options for curl and phantomjs that were new to me, and now improve the robustness of the process.
