I was able to subscribe to the RSS feed (theres a button called subscribe which gives you the full RSS feed link). It worked perfectly, no need to have access to the dropbox anymore. In the meanwhile I was equally impressed to see the dyslexic advantage team had taken my advice, converted their whole premium content to Justcast and were asking me to test the RSS feed. and the Justcast team have so many features, check out their blog. I did and it worked exactly how I specified previously. You will able to find the config under the Settings > Advanced. Then a day ago (29th June) a emailĪdding authentication to the feed feature went live. I will definitely keep you in the loop on our development progress.įollowing that email we went back and forth and he showed me what it would look like. Thanks so much for your suggestion and interest on JustCast, and you know what, we are actually going to work on implementing this Authentication to the feed feature in July. Josh from Justcast wrote back pretty quickly… They were on it! The one thing which seemed to be missing was authentication on RSS feeds. I set up a account and tried out Justcast for myself and was impressed with how easy it was to get up and running. They were using some other system which was costing them a bit and there was extra step of uploading content to the other system from their dropbox drive, which they nicely shared with me.ĭropbox drive I thought… sure I saw a service which will take a directory of files and generate a RSS feed? I remembered it was called I talked about the advantage of RSS and explained you can have http authentication on RSS to keep their premium content secure. Brock Eide the researchers and writers of the dyslexic advantage. So I did and got into a discussion with Dr. There was a note at the end of the podcast section saying if you have troubles or would like it another way ask. Looking at their RSS it was the generic one for the blog no matter which page I went to. I started thinking if they have RSS, I could subscribe and get updated media without having to go to the site to check. I started subscribing to the Dyslexic Advantage, as I have gotten much benefit from the book and decided it would be good to digest much more.Īfter looking at their premium section, which has a lot of media I started thinking there is maybe too much and they are adding more to it all the time. This gives me the chance to mess with Airtable I guess?

I’ll likely drop the sheet somewhere, so others can add without messing with the existing data. I started a google sheet, after pretty much manually pulling the data out of the Google Slide. If you are interested in joining what happens next, drop me a message. If you can help or can point at places which might help a XML type person like me, do shout. Not a criticism of course, but I could really help if they provided the data or sources. Put into a form where others can add to it, likely a airtable, mutliple google sheets or github somehow? I think what the original authors did is amazing but it they limited its impact by not separating the data from the format. Part of my work is to extract the data from this amazing presentation. One of the things I am planning is a look at all those pledges to make a change by companies to see if they actually did what they pledged. Its coming up to 6 months since George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis police. So little progressive… At least george floyds mural stays in the northern quarter even today – Oct 25th 2020 Like most of the designers featured, I stay hopefully too However I also listened/read the wired article – Five Years of Tech Diversity Reports-and Little Progress. The Black Experience in Graphic Design: 19, has a number of black designers read through a hard copy article written in 1968 to see how much has changed or rather reflect on how little has changed.Īs I started it was a hard read as there was a lot I recognise in my experiences as a designer in the earlier days of 2000. It was a hard read/listen but I’m glad to have read through the article which Leena suggested for me.
