Meta comment:
I am doing some updates to the bot. I just implemented a language option to help our colleagues from the Myanmar community in [email protected] that are planning to run their own version of the bot. I am guessing that I will need to do some further updates here as I probably baked English into the bot in a lot of places they would like to change it. Let me know @[email protected]!
The next thing I have started working on is a way to create an organized list of all the shows that the bot is currently monitoring even if it isn’t making posts for them. This was a requested feature to provide a reference for people that might not know if a show is requestable from the bot or not. My current plan is to have this be a page on the wiki that is updated automatically and include a link to that page in the sidebar as well as in the post of recent threads. I think with some clever scripting I can make the wiki be auto-updated…but it is as yet unproven.
The milestone after that is to further tweak the way that shows/episodes are sorted in the pinned summary post of recent discussion threads. I had been kind of banging my head against a wall for a way to sort things nicer, but I had some ideas after taking a fresh look at the code after a break, so I hope that it won’t be too difficult.
As a sidenote, I set up a kanban organizer for myself to help keep track of all the lemmy/bot stuff I have going on (Vikunja specifically). So far, I have really liked it and expanded to use it for other things. The experimental Android app has worked flawlessly as well.
Tagging @[email protected] since I had talked with you about some of this in past threads.
