What’s new in space

As the Artimis II astronouts land in the ocean I’m quietly pushing commits and writing devlogs at 1:40am UK time!

In this devlog I’ve done a fair bit. After confering with my #nebula-org associats we have decided the main functionality for the bot!

“ Get to the point “

Here is what i have actually done:

• Using Copilot as a assistance tool I generate the cycle tool
• Create the main command functionality:

1. /nebuladev idea - Generates project idea following current cycles theme
2. /nebuladev joke - Uses AI to generate space themed joke (i know, ram prices ts buttt it is easier than finding an API )
3. /nebuladev theme - you guessed it, tell ya current theem
4. /nebuladev admin - rn it shows an error btu I’m going to make it so admins can do some cool stuff with this

anyway it is almost 2am so good night

Changelog

• Update bot command functionality
• Add project theme generation to Nebula bot command

So this time was spent finishing off features and preparing to publish on PyPi! I have included lots of info in the README.mf on how to set it up and also have images of the project.

Changelog

• Update version to v0.1.2 in CHANGELOG
• Add .gitignore to exclude build artifacts and egg-info directory
• Prepare for v0.1.2
• Initial commit of shutup-overlay application with main functionality and packaging setup.
• Fix formatting of keybinds table in README.md
• Revise simpledialog changes and update README
• Update README.md
• Add keyboard package to requirements
• Refactor custom message input to use simpledialog

Small Changes

So today I added a <marquee> effect into the top of the site and also included this cool text display:

I removed outdated links like Woof and Rooted as well as fixing the musicals link!

Then I added a github commit link I got from another olf project.

Changelog

• Fix links for Musicals Site and update footer text
• Update index.html with new title, marquee effect, and latest commit link
• Update title from ‘UNDER MAINTENANCE’ to ‘Hippogriff - Freddie Yershon’

For the first devlog of this project I set up the Slack App, Created the file structure (with .env) and Started intergrating Hack Club AI into the code. For now the bot just tells you a space themed joke when the command /nebuladev is ran!

Changelog

• Implement initial bot setup with Slack command integration
• Initial File Setup

Hello again,

Here are all the changes I’ve made:

• Added buttom linking to ysws page
• Updated text with new rules & note about #ysws-bulletin
• Added emojis into page with some CSS

TODO:

Host on guide.ysws.hackclub.com

Changelog

• Add YSWS button and update emoji display in guide

I added in all of the information from the canvas in #ysws and uploaded the slack emojis needed into /assets!

TO DO next time

• add in slack emojis to text
• link back ysws.hackclub.com
• Revise with new rules for #ysws
• make it look a bit less dull

Changelog

• Add detailed YSWS guide content and new assets for upvote, downvote, and yay reactions

So this is gonna be a one devlog ship, mainly cause I’m lazy and didn’t put the most effort in. But, I coded this backstage at my schools production of Beauty and the Beast in between scenes. We has a camera set up in the audience projected through my laptop to backstage. The only problem, people wouldn’t be quite. So i coded this for crown control. ‘Shh’, ‘Stop Talking’, etc. Little bit of fun. I’m not expecting a large payout, prob like 4.5/hr but this was fun and i may as well log it to flavortown.

To the code: python and tkinter - GitHub Copilot was used for base code but less than 30%

Bringing this back

So I kinda fogot about this but its super cool and i wanna keep going. I don’t think there is a need to use docsify and most of the styling would have been borrowed from hackclub/guide so instead i’m using the same banner as commenly found on toolbox

What have i done

(sorry for my rambling above)

• Removed all the old _docs/ stuff
• Made a clean folder with index.html and styles.css
• Added the ususal banner with differant hackclub brand colours (or color for you american (and coders ))
• had a quiet sob under my desk (/hj) when github was being a pain cause of priavte repos, forks and who knows what else.

Have a look at it here: hippogriff101.github.io/ysws-guide
(it has not been promoted to personal domain worthy yet)

Todo next time:

• add subheading under title
• fix grammer in footer
• add content from #ysws ( & #private-channel )

Changelog

• Remove docs folder to match master
• Sync main with master content for PR

Hey there devlog reader! You are doing a good job.
Anyway, I added the channel ID to my .env and also renamed the file, added /weather-creditsand finally fixed some grammer.

Changelog

• Refactor weather command functionality into separate commands.py file and update Slack channel handling
• Fix date formatting in daily message output
• Enhance daily weather reporting bot and remove old message plan

So I’ve been busy

I decided to lock in because I’ve been super busy with school I haven’t coded much but thinking now I still have an essay to write and this is not that important…

buttt!

Here is what i added:

• Slack intergrations for daily message (daily.py)
• High and Low forcasts
• Current kind of weather
• Print current date
• Function to decide if current date should have ‘st’, ‘nd’, ‘rd’ or ‘th’
• Greeting, based on current hour it decides if it should say; ‘morning’, ‘afternoon’, ‘evening’ & ‘hello’
• Formatting in daily message
• Display time message posted in command line!

Refelction & moving on

In theory i went a bit overkill cause the plan is to have this run on my Pi at 9am everyday but that sin’t important

Todoooo:

• Add /credits command
• Include more stuff in /weather command or make some differant ones
• Make README.md better
• i can’t remember
  (ahhh, slack emojis are on flavortown utils)
  byeeee, see you next timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Changelog

• Enhance daily weather reporting bot and remove old message plan

I added a little ping when your ‘idea’ is finished generating!

I’ve started working and testing the michanics for a daily reminder and planning the response!

As Flavorless is now got it’s own workshop link i added that, grayed out old ysws, fixed up some new/edited CSS!
https://github.com/hackclub/webdev/pull/13

And I though I was finished, yikes! I’ve added a rate limiting (with the help of copiolet) so my ai.hackclub.com isn’t drained, it is global, not user based. I added a disclamer for CDN being down then fixed it a few minutes later, cool! whatt else? Oh, did a few things to the readme and added an example.env.

their we go, thats all! to do: ping the user when the idea is generated!!!!

Changelog

• Update README and add example.env for environment variable setup
• Fixing CDN issue a few minutes later!
• Update dog picture responses to handle CDN issues and implement request limits for idea generation
• Revise project status note in README
• Refactor README structure and headings

Grayed out polygon cause club submissions are over and added boba olympics and flavorless!!!!

Set up docsify and added some filler content, need to work on design before conetnt going forward. Going to look at guide.leaders.hackclub.com as they use the same framework(?).

I fixed some small bugs in code and made a requirements.txtas well as finish up the README.md ready to ship.

I added the Hack Club webring and updated the/tooglepage. I’m only making this devlog cause it was logged on hackatime. Once I finish other projects I will start working on this project in more focus.

Used python-weather to make a simple script to send weather in °C using the documentation. I then implimented this into a Slack bot (using knowlage from previous slack bot project) where when you run /weatherin the channel it will tell you the current tempreture only visible to you.

Added in buttons for viewing history (prev. codes made), preview QR Code (last made) and closing the window.

Now I’ve moved onto the GUI version using tkinter!
I found some documentation here and used that to help me. It is very simple right now and not much differant from the CLI to I’m hoping to add new features like history, custom center images or cutsom saving locations?

Turned into a .exe! It has some ASCI art and info before making QR Code. you have the option to make another. The file name is differant each time! Migth ship this now then start work on GUI version!

Tested a few things out with normal qrcode library but on Stack Overflow I found some code to add custom logo’s on to which may be usefull.

So I know I said i was finished but then i added more stuff! Now when you send ‘meow’ in chat it reacts with neodog_evil and sends a passive agressive threaded reply AND if you send ‘woof’, ‘wruff’ or ‘wooof’ it reacts with a random emoji (from a list) and has a 1 in 3 chance of either: sending a random community members dog, sending a threaded responce or nothing. Looking forward I hope to add a dog API for more pics of dogs! Hosting wise I plan on testing if nest works but if not then that doesn’t matter as I can use my Pi 🥧!

Changed status for Zoo!

I updated the README.md in VSCode with some nice emojis and links and installation instructions.

So I’m away on holiday and all my API Keys are saved on my laptop at home so i can’t get them while im away! The one time i don’t use a codespace. I don’t think there is much to add. The main thing is hosting it. My Pi from Arcade will work because Nest is down but @AVD said we may be able to use Hack Club Servers :partyowl

Add threaded replys and CDN Dogs!

Added Hack Club AI in the form of ‘/ideas’, which generates a random dog themed project idea and ALSO added ‘/dogpics’ which rn uses stock images but plan to include my dog, @Will, @AVD, @gamer_waves dog pics!

Now uses Bolt and Socket Mode! I added ‘/woof’ and auto reaction (with :woofwoof) when ‘woof’ is sent in channel!

I started by learning and educating myself on how making a slack bot in python works. Currently it is sends a random message (from a list) to a certain channel when the program is run. it only works in a private channel for now while we sort out Woof as a YSWS launching.
