(coding noises)

So those sins I mentioned before? Turns out people cancelled, so no-one need ever know what was going on there. That's great.

Things have been a little rough. My mood's been flaring up, which means I need to rest a lot and try to fore myself to sleep, meanwhile I am completely scatter-brained and can barely focus.

My recent fandoming has been around [fandom coders] and their project [AO3.js]. It's a scraper that I'm trying to add kink meme functionality to, which would make it easier to build tools to run and talk about AO3-hosted kinkmemes -- eg. you could embed a prompt into Discord, which afaik is functionality no bot offers right now.

I only managed to get a little done -- I wrote some tests for the task What is the author of this prompt, what pseud did they sign up with, or did they create an anonymous prompt? This problem is... simple for now, but I foresee it being... near impossible later. It was suggested to me that I submit a ticket to AO3 asking if they could change the HTML of kink memes to make this easier. ngl, I was kind of horrified by the suggestion! I haven't even submitted any of my changes yet, I'm not ready to be a real coder.

The code fails the test right now, but that's the whole point of test-centered development.

That image is adorable omg!!! :D There's also a fancoded community on Dreamwidth if that's of interest, though I think it might be an offshoot of the Discord you mention. Good luck with your projects!

No, thank you for the rec, I wasn't aware of it.

I don't know the nuances of kink memes on AO3, but so would it be like "Someone posts a new kinkmeme prompt" -> "Bot scrapes that data and posts to discord"? Like a way to get notifications for new prompts?

Ahaha the idea of asking AO3 directly to change the HTML is super intimidating! I wouldn't be asking yet either in your shoes XD

[rabbitpiedreams]

Yes, exactly like that! Maybe. I honestly don't know, I don't know how that kind of bot works. This is all pretty new to me. I think that's the sort of thing you could make using what I'm writing right now.
