Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

Turn a YouTube channel into a personal podcast feed. https://gist.github.com/thebenlamm/9d862a3e6c9f481ab9d8a8afe...

More detailed instructions in the script but the general idea is: 1. When a channel publishes a new video IFTT puts a text file with youtube link in Dropbox 2. Script downloads audio from youtube 3. Justcast.com free tier to turn a Dropbox folder into a podcast feed
