How the DEV.to Trending Posts screensaver works
The background pipeline polls DEV.to — a large developer blogging community — every few minutes for new records.
Each new item eases up into its slot at the bottom of the list as it arrives.
A header shows a live/connecting indicator and the last update time.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
