n0201

heya! i improved the cancelled lessons check (actually fixed a bug) and also improved the /test command to allow you to check for cancelled lessons for tomorrow too! all of this WON’T be available on the currently running test bot though, as that one has the UNTIS implementation disabled. It’ll only allow you to add and remove exams on the fly.

fixed an issue where you wouldn’t receive a message as i missed a placeholder in the english translation. I also made the code more robust by adding stripping of strings in case it catches a whitespace (if an user sends one).
In general more stable now and should work perfectly fine!

Updated README and added a /start command. Nothing special this time :)

huge overhaul - more squashed bugs and english translation!
put a lot of thinking into this release. its ready to go now. Biggest overhaul is that you won’t get stuck in convos now and stuff gets handled properly now!

Not many changes done. Just made the bot tell you if there’s no cancelled lessons instead of not responding at all if you manually ask it for cancelled lessons. I also did some feature stripping (mostly affecting Untis) for the public bot which can be contacted through the demo link or here: You can still try it out here: https://t.me/maerkischer_untis_entfall_bot. Read the description carefully!
this test bot has all untis features disabled (data privacy reasons) and exam reminders won’t work unless you clone the repo and run it yourself. you’ll still be able to create/show/remove exams!

Haiiii,
with this devlog, the bot is practically done!
I implemented everything i wanted from the previous Devlog except for multilingual support (This will be added eventually).
This means:

• Full restricted access (only owner can request things from the bot)
• Docker support!
• Cleaner code (just a little bit)
• Untis can be disabled (to keep exam tracking only)
• updated README (yay!)

Keep in mind, this is a part of my skilled work from school. I would enjoy and feedback tho and hope a few people here could actually use it ;)

Added exam (“Klausuren”) tracking to the bot. You can now ask it what exams are currently saved, you can delete exams and add new ones. Reminders included already!

Next up:

• Readme update (much needed once the docker imgs are being built on push)
• better recovery on reboot (exams are already getting saved using pickle, just gotta make the bot grab those and start reminder jobs again)
• docker img building on push (github actions)
• english translation (gotta look at how to replace strings with differen values if a different language was set, but that will be the last thing I implement before I ship this project)
• disabling untis support as an option alltogether (some schools might not use untis, but some pupils might like the idea of tracking their exams using telegram!)

I added basic login, cancelled lessons checking and message sending for now. The bot checks the current time table every 15 minutes by itself. Additionally you can grab it by yourself by using /test. If the time table (and thus the cancelled lessons) haven’t changed, the bot won’t send you a message, by using the /test command, it will ignore that fact and will send you all cancelled lessons either way.

Next up would be improved formatting, a few updates to the README and the exam callender!

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
