⚠️ DEPRECATED ⚠️

This is a naive implementation and What's Mid has since been updated to use the firehose instead of timeline API. The new version isn't public - create an issue or tag me on bsky (tomh.social) if you would like the new version to be open sourced.

WARNING ⚠️

I wouldn't trust this code as far as I can throw it. Code might be trash, it might be bullet proof, use it at your own risk etc.

System requirements

• Node
• ts-node installed globally: npm install -g ts-node (I'd actually advise compiling to js and running with pm2 but this works for testing)

Setup

• Create a .env file in the root of the project. Provide the following:

BSKY_IDENTIFIER="YOUR BSKY BOT EMAIL"
BSKY_PASSWORD="YOUR BSKY BOT PASSWORD - USE AN APP PASSWORD"

• Optional: Change consts in src/index.ts to your liking
• Optional: Change the language preference in postIsEnglish. The check is done with the languagedetect package. See docs for your options.
• Run npm install

To run

ts-node src/index.ts

To do

• Unfollow people who unfollow us
• Minimise api requests.
• The rest of the owl 🦉
