OT — So, my nephew got me this present. Out of the blue, no birthday or anything. How sweet is that? Good kid.
Elgato Stream Deck NeoEight customizable buttons, each one has a little color screen behind it, showing graphics, icons, symbols, etc. Can launch apps, shortcuts, control media, run scripts, etc. Also shows date/time and can change profiles, and each profile can have hierarchy (sub-sections) with changing button functions. Perfect for productivity.
Should create a Bitcoin profile on it, with buttons to go straight to the WO thread and to Bitstamp. And also show Bitcoin price ticker in real-time.
Great idea.
Would you be able to write a script that is able to save and retrieve the last visited page number, opens the WO thread, passing the information to the URL and opens the thread on the page where you left it last time?
IDK exact ways, but in theory, if the browser is able to inject scripts (developer mode), you could easily refresh a bookmark on every page load and then just call that bookmark from the script that runs after clicking the according stream deck button.
Should be possible, I guess, by handling it at the browser level, perhaps recording current page number and position within the current page, and then reverting back when needed (may be affected by post deletions). As long as there is something that can be called/executed as a file, script, etc., Stream Deck should be able to handle it.
What I do is have my browser open the Speculation page
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0and then I click the WO's [new] icon manually, which brings me to the first unread post.
Quite excited about the Stream Deck Neo. Never expected to like it so much. Cool and very useful add-on to my desktop setup.
The "new" button requires cookies to work, i guess. So you have to be logged in a browser tab to make it work one-click style.
Scripting things is better, but requires more work, of course.
