I like this idea of keeping a list of bookmarklets I use public for others to check and use. Took a few of these and added them to my list until I decide how to best handle this on my site.

I imported my (outdated) watchlist from Letterboxd and will start adding stuff here from now on. I used the following node.js script to parse my exported watchlist .csv and grab data from themoviedb to have more options on what to display there.

// Example: TMDB_API_KEY=abc...123 node ./watchlist.js ./watchlist-user-2025-01-01-00-00-utc.csv"
import fs from 'fs'
import { setTimeout } from 'timers/promises'

const searchTMDB = async (i, title, year) => {
	if (!process.env.TMDB_API_KEY) return
	// Not necessary but it's meant to deal with API limits just in case
	if (i % 10 == 0) await setTimeout(1000)

	const params = new URLSearchParams({
		api_key: process.env.TMDB_API_KEY,
		query: title,
		year: year
	})

	console.log(`Searching for "${title}" (${year})`)
	const res = await fetch(`https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?${params.toString()}`)
	let m
	if (res.status === 200) {
		const json = await res.json()
		m = json.results[0]
		console.log(`  Found: tmdb:${m.id}`)
	}
	if (!m) {
		console.warn('  Not found')
		return
	}
	return {
		id: `tmdb:${m.id}`,
		name: m.original_title,
		photo: `https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original${m.poster_path}`,
		published: (m.release_date || '').split('-')[0],
		content: m.overview,
		url: `https://themoviedb.org/movie/${m.id}`
	}
}

(async () => {
	const args = process.argv
	if (!args || args.length < 3 || !fs.existsSync(args[2])) {
		return console.error('Missing letterboxd .csv export')
	}
	const file = fs.readFileSync(args[2], 'utf-8')
	const lines = file.split('\n')
	const watchlist = []
	for (const [i, line] of lines.entries()) {
		// Should use an actual csv parser here instead of this
		const [date, title, year, url] = line.split(',')
		if (url && url.trim() != 'Letterboxd URI') {
			const tmdb = await searchTMDB(i, title, year)
			watchlist.push({
				date, title, year, url: url.trim(),
				...(tmdb ? tmdb : {})
			})
		}
	}
	// Not needed as list is already sorted but why not
	watchlist.sort((a, b) => parseInt(b.date.replace('-', '')) - parseInt(a.date.replace('-', '')))
	console.log(JSON.stringify(watchlist, null, 2))
})()

Mail time!

Thanks to Zachary, Jo, and James for these beautiful gifts!

I've been thinking about adding a code snippet slash page. I've seen others host this on a subdomain using a different application but I was hoping to have it be a part of this site. Not sure what it'll look like yet.

I finally had some time and released the feeds for IndieWeb Carnival and IndieWeb Movie Club. It uses Bridgy Fed to post to Fediverse and Bluesky but you can also follow the RSS feed. I'll make the code public once I get a chance to clean some stuff up and document the setup a little better.
