Readability Blog: “One of the more useful tools in the Readability toolbox has been our link shortener, rdd.me. The interesting bit about rdd.me is simple: When an article is linked to through rdd.me, it offers up the availability to view the content in a clean, readable view.”
Get to building! If you need some Objective-C to talk to rdd.me, you’re in the right place.
Take a look at RFRddMe.
Earlier this week Dave Winer pointed out some neat stuff Readability was up to. Part of the piece pointed out a new URL shortener. I marked it and came back to it today. Since I love writing code to talk to RESTful web services, why not write another one?
This afternoon I started on RFRddMe, an Objective-C library for the Readability Shortener Service. Late this afternoon I completed the library, and I checked it into my GitHub Repository tonight. Figuring out git submodules took a bit of time, but it works as advertised.
If you just happen to be looking for Objective-C code to shorten a URL, and add an article to Readability, look no further.
Get the code for RFRddMe on GitHub.
Please, drop me a line, rob.fahrni@gmail.com, if you use the code.
Enjoy.
