I haven’t been posting anything on Substack for a while.

While trying to re-reboot myself I discovered a bunch of new stuff you can do with Substack.

Polls

Yippee! I can create polls.

Custom Buttons

Wow! I can make a custom botton.

Click the custom button!!.

Polls about Custom Buttons

I can combine these two features and do this:

Code

You can write code. This is about as lame as you can get.

async def handle_oauth_flow(config):
    # Start localtunnel
    logger.info("Starting localtunnel...")
    lt_process = subprocess.Popen(
        ['lt', '--port', str(DEFAULT_PORT),'--subdomain', str(DEFAULT_DOMAIN)],
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
        stderr=subprocess.PIPE
    )

    # Wait for localtunnel to start and get the URL
    time.sleep(2)
    lt_url = None
    while lt_process.poll() is None:
        output = lt_process.stdout.readline().decode().strip()
        if 'your url is: ' in output:
            lt_url = output.split('your url is: ')[1]
            break

    if not lt_url:
        logger.error("Failed to start localtunnel")
        return False
    config.lt_url = lt_url

Poetry

In case I need to write a poem where spacing matters I can do this.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

Roses are red
     Violets are blue
           This preserves spacing
                 Whoop dee doo!!

LateX

This should be called LameteX
