App Store Review Feed is a script that generates JSON feeds of App Store reviews. Apple makes reviews available via RSS, but Apple creates one feed per app per storefront (country). This script combines feeds so that there is one feed of reviews of an app. It also adds a Google Translate link for each review.
I made some updates to this script:
The script now creates a date_published attribute for each review. That date is the date at which the script first found the review.
Previously the script would add an error entry if it could not retrieve a feed from a storefront. It no longer does this.
The primary branch of the repository is now main.
If you have an app in the App Store and are looking for a better way to follow its reviews, check it out.
The most recent article in Barack Obama’s RSS feed from Medium contains only the first sentence and a link to the full article. I hope Medium is not switching to summary-only feeds.
I just did this, and then used 1Password to generate a new password for my Mac. The new password is more secure than the old one, but still reasonable to lookup on my phone and type into my Mac occasionally.
I have been seeing mentions of Parler in the past few days and I did not know what it was. I finally Googled it this morning. Now I know. I am happy to be on Micro.blog instead.
After twelve years, Barack Obama’s time as President has come to an end. President Obama’s third term accomplishments were limited by a lack of legal authority and access to government resources, but those limitations did not prevent him from providing the country’s leadership. During his third term President Obama healed the nation after Parkland, Charlottesville, the murder of George Floyd, and the murder of Breonna Taylor; eulogized Elijah Cummings, John Lewis, and John McCain; delivered an online commencement speech to 2020 graduates; inspired Americans to fight for equality; and warned that COVID needs to be taken seriously. I will miss President Obama, but I am happy to see him pass the torch to President Biden.
I worked at a polling location yesterday. We had a line out the door for the first two hours. We had one voter with whom the police officer needed to have a conversation, and another who insisted on exercising his right to vote with no mask. But overall things went smoothly.
If you are eligible to vote in Tuesday’s election and have not already done so, please do so in-person on Tuesday. If you voted by mail and cannot confirm online that your ballot was received and counted, please go to your polling location and ask. If you requested a mailed ballot and did not receive one, or if you received one but never returned it, please vote in-person. You should be able to get a provisional ballot if the status or location of your mailed ballot is unclear.
