Flowcode Support Board

I happened to come across this source code on on the wiki page, but I can see it as a component anywhere.
Sorry if this has been asked about before, I did have a search but didn't find much.
Why is it not saved as a component I wonder.

Thanks

Mark

Second try, think I attached the wrong file last time

Hi

Just guessing that it may have been deprecated, and was intended as an example to interact. I see though that in searching components there is no entry for Reddit News but there is for BBC News. Principle of operation most likely the same.

Regards

Thanks for the reply
The BBC News component used to work really nicely, but it stopped one day and I could never make it work again. The BBC Weather component though works fine. I just thought I might try that one to see if it had any life in it. But I don’t think my latest license is valid to turn it into a component though.

Thanks

Hello.
The component did not work correctly, so it was left.
Because there was a source file, it automatically was available via the Wikki.

Hi

The problem with writing any component that interacts with 3rd-party servers, such as News / Weather etc is that you are at the mercy of the service provider. What works today may not work tomorow as they have changed something.

Personally, I found the examples to be helpful in learning how to use the components to interact. I think there is a "hello world" example somewhere that interacts with a server held by Matrix, so it works well (or used to). From that example it lead to me writing code to interact with all sorts of services.
