How I failed learning how to code
It's been over a year since this post and the only thing I've learned about coding is I have no business coding. I'm going to blame that on laziness and my nonexistent attention span. I'm still going to set another goal this year of learning some basics.
Potential programs
Right now there are only two tools that I regularly want. There have been others but I can usually find something already made by someone who knows what they're doing.
- Fediverse image bot
- Showroom-live archive tool
I cobbled together a small bash script that uses toot and runs the Twinkle Bot, but want to see if I can get something a little more robust written. Additionally, all bots I'm aware of on fedi lack some kind of mechanism that keeps duplicate images from being posted repeatedly, sometimes in the same day. I'm manually de-duping images when I add them but would also like the tool to
The Showroom-live tool would more involved so I don't see this happening unless I really learn and am able to integrate other tools alongside it. I already have a mess of bash scripts doing the job but it would be nice to have something more efficiently managed.
Hopefully I can come back with some progress throughout the year.
