A short time ago, in the same galaxy we’re in today, a developer called Julien Deswaef created a YouTube bot that renders one New York Times story a day about ‘war’ as a ‘Star Wars’ credit crawl.
‘World Wars – News from the Empire’ uses two Python scripts. One fetches the New York Times’ RSS feeds, filters them to feature only those using war-related keywords, then creates a crawl based on that text. The other uploads that animation to YouTube, adding a title and description.
New York, meet the world’s tech scene
5,000 Tech leaders are coming to NYC this November to learn and do business. This is your chance to join them.
Make sure you read Deswaef’s post – linked above and below – about how he built the project. His attention to detail is admirable.
