A simple weather slackbot made with Go

Inspired by rapidloops mybot I made a slackbot which tells you the current weather when asked.
You can view the code at https://github.com/jelinden/slackbot.

The command which it listens is simple

@bot weather

You can add a bot easily your self. Open dropdown menu after channel name and choose Add a service integration.

Find and Click view on Bots.

Give the bot a username.

Get the API Token, you can fill in more information about the bot too, image and such, but it's not necessary.

Revisited: Isomorphic React.js with Go backend

I found an interesting project at github named selfjs (https://github.com/nmerouze/selfjs). It's a small project, but it uses an other project named v8worker (github.com/ry/v8worker). The idea is great, to use chrome's very own v8 engine to interpret javascript. Selfjs even claims it's faster than with node which also is built on v8. This is of course server side rendering we're talking about.

Earlier I wrote about otto, and didn't think it was fast enough. But v8worker just might be. I made an almost equal application with selfjs and v8worker.

http://isomorphic.uutispuro.fi/ (using otto)
http://isomorphic2.uutispuro.fi/ (using v8worker)

The first page rendering takes about 0.27 seconds on my Mac. With a little caching that should be liveable.
