Summary
Markdown supported
In her talk at the Balkan Ruby 2018 conference, Nynne Just Christoffersen shares her experiences and learnings from building a Twitter art bot named Egg Spot. This bot utilizes the Rijksmuseum's API to allow users to tweet a word and receive an image from the museum's collection in response. Key points discussed include: - **Project Overview**: Nynne introduces Egg Spot, emphasizing its connection with the Rijksmuseum, and invites the audience to interact with the bot during her presentation. - **Inspiration**: She highlights the importance of open data in cultural institutions, referencing movements like OpenGLAM, which advocate for publicly funded cultural institutions to share their collections freely. - **Technical Aspects**: She outlines how to create a Twitter bot using Ruby, detailing the setup needed to work with both the Rijksmuseum API and the Twitter API. - **Development Process**: Nynne documents her development journey using tweets to convey the project’s progress, showcasing initial testing phases and challenges faced along the way. - **Challenges and Learnings**: Nynne discusses significant mistakes, including exposing sensitive keys on GitHub and creating an infinite tweeting loop that led to her account being temporarily blocked by Twitter. Each challenge served as a valuable learning opportunity, enhancing her understanding of bot creation and API usage. - **Conclusion**: Ultimately, Nynne emphasizes the enriching experience of merging her passion for art with her technical skills, encouraging developers to explore similar projects. The bot serves as a testament to the creative potential of technology in the cultural sector.
