TechCrunch Feed Filter

This is a Python script run as a cronjob to read the TechCrunch article feed, and decide which articles to include in its own feed.

Here's a blog post about it.

To Do

  • Maybe use Reddit upvotes

Pre-Git History

This was originally archived in a Subversion repo. I'd forgotten about the version control and had gotten into the habit of just modifying the production site.

  • 2010-09-03: Original
  • 2010-09-03: Save off the disqus identifier for use later.
  • 2011-02-04: Algorithm changes (tags and author checked), new chart drawing, spaces used instead of tabs.
  • 2011-02-04: Update to the chart drawing algorithm.
  • 2013-08-04: Miscellaneous changes to techcrunch.py
  • 2015-11-23: Resync svn with production site.
  • 2015-11-27: Remove obsolete disqus and retweet code, and refactor style to be more PEP-8ish.

Is it any good?

Yes.
