<p>This is an <a href="https://www.alfredapp.com/">Alfred Workflow</a> that allows you to easily see the top posts from <a href="https://www.indiehackers.com/">Indie Hackers</a>*. I wanted an easy way to check out the latest posts, so I created this workflow since I'm a heavy user of Alfred for all things automation.</p>
<h2>The Alfred Workflow</h2>
<p>Created using the wonderful <a href="https://github.com/sindresorhus/alfy">Alfy</a> from <a href="https://sindresorhus.com/">Sindre Sorhus</a>.</p>
<h2>The Backend Service</h2>
<p>A simple micro service using '<a href="https://github.com/zeit/micro">micro</a>', deployed on <a href="https://zeit.co/">Zeit</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Node.js</li>
<li>Uses async/await</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch">node-fetch</a> used to make requests to the external site</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio">cheerio</a> for the loading the content and grabbing the right HTML nodes</li>
<li>Simple cache based on a timer, so many requests will be memoized and served from memory rather than making a request to the external site for every request to the service; cache expires after a configurable amount of time</li>
</ul>
