How to track your Instapaper queue with Beeminder

A step by step guide to tracking your Instapaper reading list using Beeminder. This method can also be used more generally to track many things that spit out an RSS feed.

In short: Instapaper gives you (private) RSS feeds for your Read later folder and your Archive. We give IFTTT these feeds and tell it to send an email to Beeminder whenever either feed updates. We'll send a "+1" when you add an item to your read later folder and a "-1" when you archive an item. Your Beeminder goal will track the total number of articles in your queue.

Ingredients

An Instapaper account.
A Beeminder account, with at least a Bee Lite subscription (because you'll need to set up a custom goal).
An IFTTT account.
A Gmail account.

NOTE: Specific examples given for options, flags, commands variations, etc., are not comprehensive.

NORMAL MODE

Vim has 2 main "modes", that chance the behavior of all your keys. The default mode of Vim is Normal Mode and is mostly used for moving the cursor and navigating the current file.

Some important (or longer) commands begin with ":" and you will see the text you enter next at the bottom left of the screen.

:q[uit] - quit (the current window of) Vim. ("Window" here is internal to Vim, not if you have multiple OS-level windows of Vim open at once.)
:q! - force quit (if the current buffer has been changed since the last save)
:e[dit] {filename} - read file {filename} into a new buffer.

Some JavaScript Basics

I was going through a book starting JS from scratch and thought "Demo or it didn't happen"

Forked from Funsella's Pen Some JavaScript Basics.
