A daily roll of Bear Blog's discover page. Every hour, a script captures the top 100 posts and stores them as dated JSON files. The result is a browsable, chronological record of what the Bear Blog community has been reading and toasting.
Live at bearroll.dev.
Collector — A Node script (scripts/collect.mjs) scrapes the first 5 pages
of Bear Blog's discover feed using Cheerio and writes data/YYYY-MM-DD.json
files. A GitHub Actions cron job runs this hourly.
Frontend — A static Astro site reads those JSON files at build time. The first 6 days are server-rendered; older days load on scroll via pre-built HTML fragment endpoints. Posts are ranked by toast count with top 10/20/all filter options. Styled with Tailwind v4, light and dark mode.
