Terminal Typing Game: Smassh
I Love this it looks like a slimmed down version of monkeytype. I always wished I could run monkeytype on a raspberry pi but the browser eats up too much resourcs so this is a perfect alternative. Its made with python
It can be installed with:
pip install smassh

disabled scenarios in make
integromat disabled my 'scenario' because i didn't have a closing h2 tag supposedly. I wish there was an ignore feature so i don't need to log to the website to fix it. You end up with a queue of files when that happens and a bunch of error emails to delete.
Hmm... maybe there is a way I just haven't found it yet.
parsefeed python library to compile blogposts into pdfs
extract rss feed to html with parsefeed python
import feedparser
# URL of the Atom feed
feed_url = "https://ecksesontress.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"
# Parse the feed
feed = feedparser.parse(feed_url)
# Open file for writing (creates the file if it doesn't exist)
with open('blogposts.html', 'w') as file:
# Write the beginning of the HTML document
file.write("\n\nBlog Posts \n\n\n")
# Iterate over the entries (posts) and extract titles and summaries
for entry in feed.entries[:10]: # Limit to the first 10 entries
title = entry.title
summary = entry.summary # This is typically the body content
# Write the title as an and the summary (body) below it
file.write(f"{title}
\n")
file.write(f"{summary}\n")
file.write("

how to use htmlize (doom-manegarm theme)
** how to make styled pages quickly in emacs - m x package install the htmlize plugin - spc b N to create a new buffer - m x enable org mode Write the body of the webpage you want to create *** use themes to apply styles - spc h t to select themes (if you want them to persist add them to your config) - spc f p to edit the configs if you want. - htmlize the buffer **** copy the html - shift v (visual mode) - shift g (jump to bottom) - double quote plus y (yank to clipboard register) ***** use your html I like to test it out on codepen if I have a browser handy. or I paste it into blogger.
emacs htmlize package is better than using org export (includes the css)
