- v0.4.0-beta - AO3 ficfeed Discord bot (pre-release)
- Author: shantismurf
- Discord: https://discord.gg/XK8AtYVdQU
Purpose:
- Aggregates all links to AO3 works, series, and collections mentioned in any public channel into a single channel where they are reposted as embeds with link data.
Release History:
- v0.4.0-beta
- Total rewrite to use new modules:
- Cheerio to scrape html more efficiently
- Axios to pass headers for AO3 bot security
- Added a list of the first five works in a collection or series
- Improved sanitization of any user-input fields to convert html to markdown or strip it out, and add escape characters as needed
- Improved handling of works and series with multiple authors
- Many minor tweaks and improvements
- Total rewrite to use new modules:
- v0.3.0-beta
- Major revision to code.
- Now processes series and collection links as well as works.
- Added a skip prefix that suppresses the posting process if:
- the link is preceded by two underlines separated by a space with another space after:
_ _ https...- Also works before links with discord embed suppression:
_ _ <https...>
- v0.2.0 Release:
- Reworked the bot to work instantaneously when a message is posted to a public channel using the discord.js API.
Future development:
- Add command to edit bot configuration from the server
- Set feed channel
- Set string length when truncating description and freeform tags
- Consider other options that may be desired...toggle each field on and off? Change colors?
- Establish a database for configuration storage
- Develop a /library command that accepts user notes and additional text on warnings and ratings to create embed rec library entries
- Possibly have the bot create a role for itself on install so access can be more easily configured
To Install:
- Host the bot on your own server. I use bot-hosting.net, which is quite simple and reliable.
- Edit config.json with your token, the channel ID you want your feed posted to, and your server (guild) ID.
- The bot must have all Privileged Gateway Intents enabled in the Discord Developer Panel.
- It will process links in any channel that the bot user can read.
