serialboard

serialboard is a simple script that uses the <pinboard.in> API to make following web serials (comics, fiction, etc) easy!

Installation

First install ruby, then just:

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install

Now copy config.yml.example to config.yml, and edit it to use your Pinboard API key.

Configuration

Copy the config.yml.example to config.yml and edit it to use your API token. You can add additional tokens to process multiple accounts as well, e.g.:

- api_token: api_token_2
  active_tag_name: comics
  deleted_tag_name: archived
- api_token: api_token_3

active_tag_name and deleted_tag_name are optional, and will default to 'serial' and 'serial_deleted', respectively.

Usage

Read your web serial, and when you get to the end or a stopping place you want to pick up from later, just bookmark the page on pinboard and tag it with your active tag. (by default the active tag is 'serial') You can do this on as many different sites as you want!

To clean up 'old' bookmarks for each domain, just run:

$ ./pinboard.rb

This will 'delete' all but the most recent bookmark for each domain. (actually it just replaces the active tag with the deleted tag, and un-shares the bookmark) For best results, run this in a daily cron job!
