I dont normally post here, but I thought id make an account to share this here incase people miss it on reddit

https://github.com/superkeefo/Yo7

I had an idea a month or so ago due to PP2 I'd been interacting more with cmdrs.. but also noticing I was missing cmdrs messaging me in local, system chat, even direct chats in-game.

The idea was to find a way to get discord notifications to alert me of in-game chat from cmdrs. Once I had the idea I knew I would try to make it happen but it took a few weeks to find a rainy day to set some time aside and try to get it working.

I'm not a coder and 'coded' this with ai. So the code may not be the prettiest. But it works well for me, getting to share it and hopefully help anyone else with the same problem is a bonus.

You'll need a discord server so you can set up a webhook in a channel to receive the incoming chat.

If any coders want to look at the code and offer improvements etc feel free. I'm sure the code is probably ugly. if I get a lot of improvements/optimizations etc. Ill test them out and make v2 with nicer ui and stuff when I get time, for now it works as intended for me.

This is pretty neato. I'll give it a look. Nothing wrong with not being great at coding. Even if you have to use AI to help you code, so long as it works as intended, who cares? I use GPT to help me code sometimes as well, I used it for my recently-released tool I posted on here as well.

Im currently rewriting it actually.. i discovered its not handling timezone etc - beginner coder mistakes im sure.. i currently making the whole thing a bit more concise and neater and allowing for timezones etc.. coincidentally only discovered the problem because of daylight savings over the weekend where i live.

That's what it is all about and how it works. Get some foundation code going so that it "works", then slowly add more features, tweak settings and optimize. I plan to do the same way of working with the tool I added on here. I have something that works, and then I can focus on adding more quality of life features down the line.

If you need some testing, hit me up. Are you on the ED community discord? Feel free to look me up.

thanks for the offer! im hoping to have a new version up tonight ive gone in and went much more granularly with each aspect of what the app does feeding the ai more info about how jornals look etc and print debugging my way through each step.. just finishing off ui and also need to switch from SendText to ReceiveText as I realised on this second time around that SendText would allow me to test as i build so much easier.. no more waiting around shinrata for hours :D
