Code & Design

Update 23/10/2024: Unfortunately this service has been archived along with it’s repo.

Some time ago I realised I was checking Hacker News and Designer News (since gone) pretty much every day. So, I thought I’d make something to blend the two and Code & Design was the result.

Built on Sinatra with a little caching from Rack::Cache plugged into Memcached so it runs pretty quick. I’ve got something hitting it every hour keeping the cache warm too. I’ve exposed a JSON and XML feeds too, which presents the same data for others to consume.

Feel free to go and clone the repo over on GitHub.
