Instagram photos by username for dashing

I struggled a while to create a dashing widget that would display images posted by a specific user. I build this upon the great foundation by @mjamieson that can be found here. To run this you will need a Dashing dashboard, the official Instagram ruby gem and access to the Instagram Developer API.

Getting set up

You will need to put some files into the right place in order to make this work:

• instagram.rb goes into the /jobs/ subfolder of your dashing installation

A Dashing widget that shows the current xkcd comic.

The widget will display the current comic if it was published today, and otherwise it will find a random one. This ensures there is a new comic shown every day.

Dependencies

The only dependency is json.

##Description Simple Dashing widget (and associated job) to display RSS feeds. Based on toddq's News widget. Due to comments about the widget not working for many sites I updated the widget to use Ruby's RSS library. It works quite well now.

Description

Dashing widget to display the next and some subsequent Google Calendar events using the Google Calendar API v3.

I use this widget to display my shift calendar - see the screenshot below

Set up

This widget works with API v3 and requires a service account to be set up via the Google Developer's Console. Once a project is set up, enable the Calendar API. On the Credentials page create a new OpenID and download the p12 key file - set up the path to this file in the job file and grant the email address access to the relevant calendar.

Another Twitter widget is rolling your way! This widget will scroll through the most recent tweets that mention the account associated with the keys! To get this widget up and running you only need to add your keys into this area of twitter.rb:

 config.consumer_key = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY'
 config.consumer_secret = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY'
 config.access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
 config.access_token_secret = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'
