1# Shortlinks for the decentralised web
2
3This is a script to allow API-based updating of the shortlinks/redirects in an IPFS-based shortlink repo (using val.town). I've written up how all this works on my blog at https://byjp.me/posts/link-shortener

1# Poll Twitter & Populate SQlite database
2
3The twitter API (or in this case someone else's wrapper over the twitter API) is finicky, so we just try to get one handle per minute, and shove whatever we get into our database, which could be an error message (this is why handles don't have a unique index).

1# [The Big Story](https://tmcw-big_story_visualization.express.val.run/)
2
3This val, along with [@tmcw.big_story](https://www.val.town/v/tmcw.big_story), which requests from the [New York Times API](https://developer.nytimes.com/), and [@tmcw.big_stories_ranks](https://www.val.town/v/tmcw.big_stories_ranks), which contains the data, generates a visualization of top stories on the NYTimes homepage.

5This is here just to ask the question – what happens to cover stories over time? Do they slowly drop down the page, or just get replaced by a fully new lede? So far it doesn't have quite enough data to answer that question.

7This val, along with a val called `poll_results` and a val called `poll_options`, lets you conduct a little poll using just Val Town! With the [express API](https://docs.val.town/api#9bff1f5f778e4fe3a143df8169101795), this exposes a web interface in which people can click an option and vote. We make sure everyone only votes once by setting a cookie in their browser.

9This uses [htmx](https://htmx.org/) to make the voting experience slick, [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) to style the UI, and [htm](https://github.com/developit/htm) to generate HTML for the pages.

1# SVG Button Link for Markdown

3Pioneered by [@easrng](/u/easrng), this val allows you to create an SVG image via the Express API, which we can embed in Val Town markdown, and wrap so it acts like a button.
