altbot development stuff

hey fedi 👋 sooo it's been like 2 months since i updated anything and figured i should be real with y'all, my motivation for coding has been absolutely tanking lately, especially with altbot

it's this annoying cycle where the more i struggle with the code, the more anxious i get, which just makes everything worse lol

still give a shit about making the fedi more accessible tho! had all these big plans for integration and other stuff but yeah... brain just isn't cooperating

trying to get back into it with small commits or whatever. thanks for not giving up on this project

if anyone wants to jump in and help with some PRs, my github is always open. seriously, there's some pretty simple features waiting to be added that would be fucking awesome to see implemented

btw setting up a dev environment for altbot is super easy. my dms are open if you wanna know more about the project or need help getting set up. might actually help me get excited about it again too

who knows, maybe talking about all the cool shit we could build will kickstart my brain again? worth a shot

someone asked how easy is it to add a new language, and i wanted to post the answer publicly too

its very easy to add a new language! if you take a look at localizations.json all you need to do is copy one of the existing ones and translate to the language of your choice, the code will handle the rest!

@micr0 [wetdry.world]
I can say just 1 thing, do not break the cycle with small commits.
I hope it hints.
Have a good day.

@micr0 Its ok to go slow. Thanks for sharing what you've built.

@micr0
Thank you so much for your work! 😍

@micr0 can you get off github please

@soop what alternative do you suggest?

@micr0 codeberg.org or there's smaller instances like git.gay

@soop I've had bad experience with codeberg when it comes to moderation and trolling and harassment, there is no real way to report an account even, I don't really see a valid alternative to GitHub atm
