Ruby Video – On a mission to index all Ruby conferences • Hacker News Board

This looks awesome and the site looks like it’s custom built. For anyone looking for a tool I’ve been using Pyro (https://www.pyro.app) to collect startup pitch videos (https://video.heystartup.com)

Ruby on Reels! :D Great effort, thanks.

I wish there were more sites like this, devoted to particular topics that proved to be valuable enough to be presented in a public talk. I currently use YouTube for this a lot (like most people, I guess). But sadly, count(views) is not always correlated to quality.

nice ad for pyro.app but yt-dlp + .txt files are free, offline, and will work forever¹ regardless of the operators' wallets.

1: notwithstanding storage degradation, but I trust myself more than this platform

Is it just me, or is Ruby experiencing a renaissance of sorts? There has been a bunch of positive press, and the community seems more active and vibrant than ever?

How do you do the indexing? Could you share how you do it?

It's all manual, but we have a few scripts that help us extract data from the YouTube API.
