Do you not use iMessage? How do you access that when you're using the flip phone?

I think what OP meant was why go the self-hosted route for the feed reader but not the read-later application.

Still need to find a good read-later alternative, could be an idea. Pocket is just my long-used application, got so used to it

I tried Wallabag [0] but it didn't feel as polished as Instapaper, or Pocket. Especially the mobile application.

[0]: https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag

This is basically what I do too.

I'm using Feedbin (paid, $5/month) as I find their Twitter integration superior to anything else I've seen (it shows threads as one entry, it retains some of the Twitter UI elements, and it fetches the content of links so I can read them there, I can just add people to a Twitter list and subscribe to that list in Feedbin). It also lets me add Twitter searches which lets me read people's replies.

One more source you can add is Reddit. I usually only go for the top posts, like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/coolgithubprojects/top/.rss

I then use Instapaper for deferred reading.

Thanks for the Reddit tip

I am always interested on tools such as this one. I end up using a mix of IFTTT and Google Apps Script for this.

What integrations do you offer besides Slack

Currently, it supports GitHub, Slack, CircleCI and Google Cloud Build to trigger any custom code in Docker containers. Are there any other specific integrations you would like to have?

This seems interesting, I'll play around with it later, thank you.

Some requests off the top of my head:

* ability for actions on github PR comments

* ability for actions on slack messages in a given channel or reactions/options on a message that the bot posted. eg bot asking if a merged PR is ready to be deployed or if it needs to have extra steps taken on it.

* making HTTP requests with templated body from previous steps, eg pr number, git commit, author's email, etc

* ability to export/import the workflow and/or manage the workflows as code

Wow, thank you so much for your feedback!

Super interested in this, will try it out. Thank you for building it.

A couple of questions: - Can I deploy this to a Digital Ocean droplet or similar? (I am assuming it's the case, but just checking). - There's openvpn, and there is pi-hole. Can I assume that if I connect a device to the VPN, I'll also get ad blocking via pi-hole as a bonus, or do I have to edit my DNS servers on the device separately.

A couple of software suggestions: - I'd love to see Wireguard instead of openvpn. The setup/speed is just amazing. - I'd love to have Matrix (https://matrix.org/blog/home/) as a messaging option

You can definitely deploy this to a DO droplet.

Pi-hole out of the box support is a bit wonky at the moment, I've been working on it, but it's not quite to the point you described just yet. Contributions encouraged!

Those both sound great to me, and again, Merge Requests are highly encouraged. :)

How did you achieve this with GAS? Did you stash incoming emails in a folder/tag and re-added them to the inbox on a schedule?

Yeah, exactly. Create a Gmail filter to filter them into a hidden Gmail label. And then at the chosen times, move them into the inbox

Coderust has been an invaluable resource to me. Yes, it won't give you what a CS degree gives you, but it's enough to make you feel confident in a week or less.

I second this. While it doesn't fit my own workflow (I am a heavy workflowy user). I think when you have to find a middle ground and a tool that everyone will have some pleasure using, Notion is a better one than most.

I also use Workflowy for my notes/todos/journal. I connect it with complice.co where I set my intentions for the day every morning.

Good times! I find out that my first one is still up: http://lacquemant.free.fr/
