Folders: an esolang written in directory structures
made by rottytooth, submitted by Mai

made and submitted by kellyfoulk

In this article I will discuss how I used Strava’s API and cron jobs to automatically log new activities for my virtual races on RunSignup. I love this project because while tutorials and such are great, it was so satisfying to build something that solved a real issue of my own!
