Looking forward to trying it!
@cleverdevil It looks like the service only captures posts when they exist for two diffferent years. My micro.blog only goes back to the beginnign of this year, so when I enable On This Day nothing appears, and I removed it. If it at least captured posts of the current day it would make some sense to retain, but an otherwise blank page doesn't make sense.
@frankm Frank, my “on this day” page captured my posts I’d just written. Not replies, but my original posts.
@frankm I can definitely make an improvement so that the script shows “there were no posts on this day” or something. Can you do me a favor and open an issue/ticket on the GitHub project to remind me? Thanks!
@frankm oh, and the script does capture any content posted on the current day, but sometimes Micro.blog takes some time to update the archive page, meaning my script can’t discover it yet.
@cleverdevil Ok, I've added the issue.
@cleverdevil i have added a second ‘issue' around css styling ... not a big problem - but when you have a moment.
@cleverdevil Unfortunately, On This Day is just not working for me. See frankmcpherson.blog/on-this-d... I can only guess I am not using the right time zone, I want US/Eastern. I can't determine from the link that you provide what the right time zone code is.
@frankm hey frank! I’ve been quite busy and haven’t had a chance to take a look. Can you open an issue on GitHub for me?
@cleverdevil Done. I've switched the time zone to US/Pacific just to see what it I will do. I looked around micro.blog and I don't see anywhere to specify the time zone of my posts, although I see they are in the Eastern time zone.
