3 months ago For users who are familiar with rss or javascript, and/or impatient, there are two ways you could get this functionality for yourself now.
- You could use an rss reader (e.g. feedly) and subscribe to the subject area(s) of your choice as in
https://mathmeetings.net/nt.rss or https://mathmeetings.net/ag-nt.rss
The rss reader will sort them by date of addition rather than conference date.
- You can also access the raw site data in json format by changing the url endings
https://mathmeetings.net/nt.json or https://mathmeetings.net/ag-nt.json
These are still sorted by conference date, but the json format is easy to rearrange as you like with a little javascript. For example, Johann Birnick maintains a front end for announcements tagged nt, and he adds a marker for things that have been added in the past 30 days:
https://jbirnick.net/conferences/numbertheory/
I don't know what code he's using for that, but Kiran Kedlaya has a different front for ag-nt:
https://mathweb.ucsd.edu/~kedlaya/cgi-bin/confs.cgi
with source code here:
https://github.com/nilesjohnson/conference-list/tree/master/front
Kedlaya's front doesn't mark recent additions, but perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to modify.
Suggestion: highlight or otherwise mark announcements that have been added recently. For example new additions in the past week, or past 30 days. This could be done with some markup, and/or an option to sort by creation date rather than conference date.
