feat(devto): derive live dates from article timestamps - #26
Merged
Conversation
devto projects previously had no fetched dates, unlike youtube/github. Capture published_at/edited_at from the articles already being fetched: updatedAt = max(edited_at || published_at), createdAt = min(published_at). Fixes #22

Fixes #22
Problem
A
devtoproject with no manualcreatedAt/updatedAtended up fully dateless —normalisefell through to the catch-all branch andfetchDevToUserreturned only counts. dev.to was the only fetchable source contributing no date (youtube getslatestVideoPublishedAt, github getsupdated_at), so a dateless devto project sorts unpredictably.Change
Capture dates from the articles already being fetched (no extra API calls):
devto.ts—fetchDevToUsernow also returns:latestArticleUpdatedAt:max(edited_at || published_at)across articles (last activity; unedited articles fall back to their publish date)earliestArticlePublishedAt:min(published_at)(first post)normalise.ts— dedicateddevtodate branch mirroring the youtube pattern: fetched dates win, falling back to input config dates, thennullUnparseable timestamp strings are ignored rather than winning the max/min by accident.
Notes
updatedAt= last activity (edit preferred over publish),createdAt= first postdevto-article-data.md,fetch-devto-user.mdVerification
pnpm build && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test— all green (995 tests)devto.test.ts(latest edit wins, unedited fallback, earliest publish, null/no timestamps, unparseable strings) and date resolution innormalise.test.ts(fetched dates, config fallback, null when fetch fails)
