Better Pinterest RSS feeds

Experimenting with the fabulous web automation service If This Then That this morning, I thought it would be nice to do something with my Pinterest posts, such as saving them to Dropbox or posting them to Tumblr. The problem with this was that the RSS feeds provided by Pinterest only include thumbnail images that are of little use here.

However, it's not that difficult to get the full-sized image if you know how to program, so I didn't let that stop me and wrote a simple solution. May I present to you: The Better Pinterest RSS Feed Generator, powered by Google App Engine. It gives you your Pinterest feed in a format you can use.

Hi There.

Love the pinterest feed - don't know how I lived without it. It seems to have stopped working over the last couple of days though. I hope this is fixable as it's really great.

I have looked and looked, but I can't find the code for this plugin, so I can't use it!
