Rosetta

Hey is this thing turned on?

So here’s my first project at Flavortown! I’ve never been really into doing YSWS, but I gave a shot to #reboot and now I’m trying this to see how this goes :)

So pretty much, I’ve decided to make Rosetta which is a bot that allows you to translate messages on Slack! There are two modes that Rosetta can run, one by pretty much using shortcuts and translate non-english messages to English or by using the /translate command, the second one, which is the one I like the most: is by linking your Slack account with OAuth2 and giving it permissions to edit your messages on yourself, this way every time you chat something in a channel that has Rosetta on it, the message gets automatically translated by editing the message and adding a watermark onto it!

I’ve decided to use Bun and Docker for Rosetta, as first Bun is pretty quick and I love using it, and Docker cause the bot is being deployed on the Coolify HQ server, so I decided to make a image builder action in GitHub so changes are easily pushed into the container.

There’s still some missing stuff! I want to work on the function that detects if a message is English or not, plus, I want to refine the AI that automatically translates your message, so your message tone is 1:1 into the English language.
