Auto-tooting new posts with val town
https://sebastiandedeyne.com/auto-tooting-new-posts-with-val-town/ https://sebastiandedeyne.com/tags/mastodon/ https://sebastiandedeyne.com/tags/val-town/Since this blog is a static site, I don’t have a server running to do something dynamic when I publish a new post. I was about to set up Zapier or IFTTT to auto-toot blog posts to Mastodon, until I realized I finally had a use case to give https://val.town a shot. With val town you can write lambda-ish functions in a GitHub gist-ish interface.

Then I created a https://www.val.town/sebdd.tootLatestPosts val that combines it with an existing @stevekrouse.newRssItems val, which fetches RSS items from a feed.

Now posts from this blog automatically appear on my https://mastodon.social/@sebdd!
