GWG Could I trouble people for more responses as https://github.com/indieweb/indieauth/pull/102 will change a bunch of other things

capjamesg[d] I made a few grammar suggestions GWG.
# capjamesg[d] It's not much but I was not confident commenting on other aspects.

@nhoizey Keeping track of what happens in my mentions is easy with @mxbck's amazing project Webmention Analytics, built with http://webmention.io and @eleven_ty.
And it's public: <https://nho-webmention.netlify.app/>

# [schmarty] I am a fan of https://github.com/ericchiang/pup though I find the syntax slightly harder to use than jq.

jamietanna Sorry https://github.com/indieweb/indieauth/pull/102#discussion_r738605868 was unclear GWG - I think let's use an example that's similar to yours?

# edgeduchess[d] re: Discord Bot, I have some knowledge of it
# capjamesg[d] edgeduchess I have been building one.
# capjamesg[d] Not the easiest documentation to understand.
# capjamesg[d] I ended up using the discord.py wrapper even though the original creator stepped down from the project.
# edgeduchess[d] Have you looked at the frameworks for it?
# capjamesg[d] Yeah. Discord.py abstracted most of it.
# capjamesg[d] The webhooks were easy to get a hang of though.
# edgeduchess[d] I've been trying to get a friend to move from the Python implementation to the discord one
# edgeduchess[d] sorry
# edgeduchess[d] JS one
# edgeduchess[d] I haven't played around with the .py one, but the .js one seems to have really good documentation
# capjamesg[d] I would not be averse to doing that.
# capjamesg[d] The bot has basic conversation ability and connects to my site.
# capjamesg[d] So I can say “yo URL” and send a Yo webmention to a post.
# edgeduchess[d] I think moving things to the JS ecosystem makes a lot of sense for people that are really into webstandards tbh 😛
# edgeduchess[d] makes it easier to keep toolings into a scope where they can be useful to more than just a bot
# edgeduchess[d] you should also look into "/ commands"
# edgeduchess[d] i'm not deep into the bots ecosystem, but I'm planning a discord bot to integrate with my indie social and am plotting with a friend that runs a bot
# edgeduchess[d] so if you do a "yo url" read from the messages it might stop working in some months
# capjamesg[d] Hello Loqi!
# capjamesg[d] At the moment, I am just using simple text matching.
# capjamesg[d] Example: “post hello from discord” will post “hello from discord” to my site.
# capjamesg[d] Now I am using the Python wrapper I could look into slash commands.
# edgeduchess[d] yeah I would do that
# edgeduchess[d] It's the future-proof way
# edgeduchess[d] and tbh it's pretty cool
# capjamesg[d] Or maybe I should do it in JS haha.
# edgeduchess[d] you will never hear "don't use JS, use Python" from me
# edgeduchess[d] if you're just starting, I highly suggest JS
# capjamesg[d] What is you need to find all the files in a folder? 😂
# edgeduchess[d] it's just a better ecosystem for the type of things you seem to want
# edgeduchess[d] and discord.js is really good
# capjamesg[d] I’ll check it out! Thanks!
# edgeduchess[d] it has so many more stars than the python version too
# 
stevestreza the discord js project is super thorough, I've used it for a few projects
# edgeduchess[d] plus JS is so good now
# capjamesg[d] edgeduchess++ for being so helpful!
# edgeduchess[d] omg, my first karma
# edgeduchess[d] *bows*
# capjamesg[d] Yay!
# edgeduchess[d] can I use gifs here?
# edgeduchess[d] do they appear in places that are not discord?
# capjamesg[d] I think so 🙂
# capjamesg[d] I think they are bridged as URLs to everyone else.
# edgeduchess[d] then
# edgeduchess[d] https://tenor.com/wB0v.gif
# capjamesg[d] *bows in return*
# capjamesg[d] stevestreza what have you been building in Discord?
# capjamesg[d] I will open source my simple bot code tomorrow.
# capjamesg[d] It’s really just a utility bot.
# capjamesg[d] Oh, and getting discord.py to work concurrently on a production web server is annoying.
# capjamesg[d] I had to split the webhook into its own project.
# capjamesg[d] Multi threading was fine on local but gunicorn didn’t like it.
# stevestreza my personal favorite project, my partner is a streamer and she often has friends chatting with her on stream via voice chat for discord, so I made a bot that will listen to voice events and pubsub those to a web view that she has in OBS that will highlight whichever person is talking with a little animation
# stevestreza I also help with some local conventions and there's some discord bots for role management hooked up to their registration database, some automated scheduled posting of events connected to a CMS, etc
# capjamesg[d] That is amazing!
# capjamesg[d] So cool!
# capjamesg[d] I had never thought about using WebSub with my bot. I wonder what I could do haha.
# capjamesg[d] A “James is online” indicator on my website? 😂
# edgeduchess[d] that is a really cool idea
# edgeduchess[d] I'm thinking about a status updater
# edgeduchess[d] kinda like the old facebook when it was in 3rd person
# edgeduchess[d] "James is thinking about [x]"
# capjamesg[d] Yes, exactly!
# capjamesg[d] It could be updated easily from Discord.
# edgeduchess[d] yeah!
# stevestreza Would be pretty cool to have "Playing Final Fantasy XIV" or whatever hooked up to my website
# capjamesg[d] Yeah!
# edgeduchess[d] I approve of this
# capjamesg[d] What were you building with discord.JS edgeduchess?
# edgeduchess[d] I'm not personally building anything with discord, but I'm building this very niche indie social network and I'm plotting various discord integrations with a friend
# edgeduchess[d] so we're looking into switching their bot to discord so I can piggyback a bunch of custom functionality on it for people that have a "realm" on this social
# edgeduchess[d] (which is basically the equivalent of a discord server)
# capjamesg[d] That sounds cool!
# capjamesg[d] [snarfed] IRC was not very intuitive so I stopped reading into it.
# capjamesg[d] SASL is just a set of commands being exchanged from what I could tell but it was over my head.
# edgeduchess[d] It is! We're having a lot of fun with it. I'm excited for the next stage of bringing more people in.

# [jacky] stevestreza: I've been wanting something like that re: game play for a while! Steam does emit the info (would have to poll) on the Web: https://steamcommunity.com/id/jackyalcine?xml=1
# [jacky] but here's some active gameplay (from a forum link) https://steamcommunity.com/id/Fenidaz?xml=1
# stevestreza That would work for Steam games but not for standalone games, games from GOG/Epic/Itch/etc. Pulling from Discord would get all of those, if you had Discord set to read it
# stevestreza There's also some games that have "rich presence" integration with Discord so you can actually get info about what you're doing in the game (e.g. in a lobby, in a battle, what server you're on, character info, etc)
