GitHub - bluebbberry/Sidekick: Bot-centered Fediverse app. Users post ONLY through bots. On sign-up, every user chooses a bot (or Sidekick) and can then customize user experience and execute commands with it by posting to the bot. The post prompt is made customizable and elevated in this sense (fedi-app with custom-prompts).

Currently, there are six bots available:

  • Larry: Classic text posting: just post text
  • Spark: turns all text into uppercase
  • Ennui: produces low-effort posts (removes punctuation, makes it lowercase, introduces typos)
  • Jea: schedule posts by starting post with a hashtag and the number of minutes to postpone
  • Hamlet: adds a random Shakespear quote to the post
  • Legion: send out multiple posts by starting the message with a hastag with the number of repeats

You can select three of them and have them then available next to the post-button as a quick-select.

    Well, custom posting can mean all kinds of stuff. Text altering is just one thing. You can also give commands to the “bot” through hashtags. For example, one of the bots postpones the post for a certain amount of minutes via the first hashtag.

    For example: “#5 this will be send in 5 minutes”

      Yeah, I understand the possible applications and they do sound quite useful. Scheduled posting, for example, is really cool. The word “bot” just doesn’t make it sound like client features to me but that’s most likely a me issue. It looks very promising, keep up the good work
