# Pinboard for NewsBlur

A proxy for pinboard.in feeds that fixes the keywords to be displayed correctly in NewsBlur, periodically 

published to GitHub Pages, so that I can subscribe to this feed instead of the original one.

_Accompanying blog post: [After more than 20 years as a professional developer, I published my first dirty Open Source project][dev]_

## Why?

[pinboard.in][pinboard] is the bookmarking site that I use to store links I find interesting,

you can find mine at [pinboard.in/u:jeromegamez][mine].

I also use it for its [Popular Bookmarks][popular] - I subscribed to its [RSS feed][rss] in

[NewsBlur][newsblur] and always have something interesting to read when my other feeds are

empty (they rarely are).

NewsBlur is my RSS-Reader of choice, mostly because of its Site Intelligence Trainer,

with which I can hide posts with certain keywords in their title and/or tags.

Unfortunately, Pinboard makes that hard by not publishing Story Tags so that NewsBlur can

understand them. Instead of showing tags one by one, all tags are combined to one long keyword.

For example, if I weren't interested in Halloween, I would hide feed items with the Halloween

keyword like this:

[](tksst-halloween)

In pinboard, when a story has multiple keywords, they aren't displayed correctly. Instead of them

being separated, all keywords are shown as if they were one single keyword.

## How?

This is my attempt to, for once, make something that isn't super-polished - in fact this is super-dirty.

Okay, I lied: I first _did_ try to make this a polished project, but when I realized that working with 

RDF feeds is a royal pain, I decided to make it easy for myself: Regular Expressions.

[You shouldn't parse XML or HTML with Regular Expressions](stack-overflow).
