So that didn't take long. Just 5 hours ago I came up with the idea, and I couldn't get it out of my head, so here it is! Go unsubscribe from me on YouTube!

The Sunday Sidecar is what I'm calling the side-content update here on Joel+. Every Sunday at 5PM pacific time, a post will automatically be made here containing a playlist of every single non-main video I've created over the past week. These are videos of Menko the Cat, my daily walks series, videos from the drumming channel, and any other miscellaneous things I happen to upload, short or long form. The first one will go public this coming Sunday, July 5th at 5PM. These posts are visible to any paying members.

You can view the script on GitHub.

My motivation/inspiration for this implementation is that this is how I'd want to view short-form content made by creators I follow. I'd want a weekly roundup that I can sit down and enjoy. In fact, for the few creators I follow that only make shorts, this is how I view their creations, I stop by every week or two and check out their new stuff all at once.

Feedback is always welcome, let me know what you think!

P.S. This is using my PeerTube instance to create and post the playlist as PeerTube is much easier to work with via API than YouTube. Let me know if you have any issues with it!

P.P.S. You got a bit of a preview from me testing the script - I forgot to run it in test mode, so an email got sent out earlier. Oops, sorry.
