At some point I saw a neat page that GitHub put up of all the speaking their team did. Since then, I've wanted a page of my own, but, not just for my own speaking, but any videos that I had queued up in Instapaper.

This is that page.

This setup has three parts:

1. A ruby script which uses the Instapaper API (via the instapaper rubygem) to download all the bookmarks in a particular folder.
2. The json download from the previous step
3. An html file and a javascript file configured to look for that json file, and display youtube embeds

To set up the ruby, you'll need to clone the repo into ~/.instapaper, cd in, and run bundle install. After that, run bin/update_watch_later unread (or some other folder_id) using cron. I run it every 5 minutes.

Will get downloaded by cron.

Crack open the index.html, and change the body's data-folder-id to "unread", or whatever you used when running the bin/update_watch_later command.

Lastly, run foreman start. Open your browser to localhost:8000 and enjoy!
