twim-o-matic

Can be used to help produce new editions of https://matrix.org/twim.

Install everything from npm (Node 12 minimum needed) and setup needed dirs:

npm i
mkdir events
mkdir blog
mkdir blog/img

To use, create a file at config/access_token.json and include three fields:

• accessToken - the accessToken of the account that will used for watching (in the live environment this is @twim-o-matic:bpulse.org)
• homeserver - the homeserver of the watching account
• userId - the userId which we permit to add new 👀

Then build from TypeScript (sourcemap used for debugging):

npx tsc --watch *.ts --sourcemap

Run node watch.js, then use your nominated mxid to react with one of the emoji below on a story to include. This will start logging event IDs.

To clear the stored list, use node watch.js -c. Do this for each new post or you will include previous entries.

When you have a collection, run: node render.js. This will read from the test room state list, and render the entries by writing some markdown to out.md, which will need some editing to make it presentable.

Note the options for render in the section below. In general, to produce a final output you will use render -mp, -m to process media, and -p to process results from #ping:maunium.net.

node watch --help

% node watch --help
Usage: watch [options]

Options:
  -c, --clear  clear the stored events
  -h, --help   display help for command

node render --help

% node render --help
Usage: render [options]

Options:
  -d, --debug    output all the json blocks, suppress header
  -s, --summary  highlight missing summary blocks
  -m, --media    download and process media
  -p, --pings    get ping-room data
  -w, --web      start a server to render the result
  -h, --help     display help for command
