Here's the one from nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc
Yes this is the one thank you. Great simple guide
Any others you recommend or know of?
If you want something stupid simple, i made orthobot a while ago and published setup instructions
All I want is something simple, not spammy. This is great thanks for building & sharing
Damn, feel like it's on my end. You're the second person I can't zap today
Every bot is different and depends on what language you use. Whatcha thinking about doing?
I wanted to make a clean, simple, not spammy nostr not, which noted a quote or two per day
I'd get a lightweight VPS, but it'd be cool to host it on my node (raspiblitz)
You can definitely self host it. You just need a database of quotes you want to note and then you need to connect to a relay and send a signed kind 1. Use whatever language you want. Read nip1 to learn signing. A bot is basically a client of its own that just does a thing in a schedule or listens for something and does a thing.
You probably just need a reference of signing an event in whatever language you're using. What language do you want to use?
I'd prob use python as I'm most comfortable with that now. I see you write a lot in Go
I'd love to write in rust, but not there yet. Still trying to write better in C, then transfer that over to my rust journey.
Didn't click until you said it; a bot is basically a client of its own. I'll reread NIP1 to better understand
I hate bots unconditionally. ❤
