A Sinatra app that produces an RSS feed of a user's Steam screenshots.
bundle
rackup
Visit localhost:9292 to see an RSS feed of my Steam screenshots. Pass the user parameter to specify a different Steam user name, e.g., http://localhost:9292?user=mySteamName.
Steam has a web API, but it doesn't include any way of getting a user's screenshots. Ruby and Mechanize to the rescue! This script will scrape a user's screenshot page and grab the screenshots. The screenshots are then listed in an RSS feed so you can consume it with, say, IFTTT.
Deploy this app to a server, Heroku is

to wherever you deployed this app. Be sure to pass the user parameter to set
your Steam name! Choose 'New feed item' for the IFTTT trigger.
