New project: A script that extracts public posts from Facebook for a given user, and formats them for consumption via RSS, or generates content/markdown to be served by Jekyll/Lektor. I should get on that...



Might I humbly suggest a project name? FFSS. For F(acebook|uck)'s Sake Syndication. :)


Once upon a time Facebook had RSS/Atom feeds as in https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=12183340&format=a...


You just wrote Facebook Fuck's Sake Syndication with 1 extra character, and with more reading difficulty!


Looks like you need to brush up on your regular expressions.

> For F(acebook|uck)'s Sake Syndication

The pipe (|) means or, so the regex is indicating that FFSS can stand for either:

For Facebook's Sake Syndication, or

For Fuck's Sake Syndication

I thought it was clever, anyway.


I don't know about clever, but it's a common idiom on tech forums.
