Good morning hockey fans! It’s still a good bit before pre-season, but I’ve been working on a bot for the flyers community and would like some feedback on what everyone would find useful. Based on tests it should be ready to go once pre-season rolls around. It pull stats/standings /live scores at the moment. If there’s other features (or more information you would like to see on the existing ones), please let me know so I can make sure to have it finished before the start of the season!
I’d also love feedback from any community mods that want to use the bot for any way to make it easier for you to do so! Right now it can be installed through python’s pip command or through docker
Oh okay, I misunderstood. So it’s a bot for creating game day threads.
Yeah that’s awesome. I’m not sure how difficult sidebar editing would be but some standings/schedule/stats stuff would be cool there. But you will be putting those in the posts anyways.
This api library is possibly the coolest library I’ve every used with its simplicity, so the answer is not too hard, as long as I can put a marker like “***” in there to split by so I can scrape the side bar that we’d want to keep. The stats/standings could make the side bar way too long (imo), but the schedule would be perfect for the side bar. I’ve opened an issue on the projects github for this with the idea of putting the current week’s schedule up.
Actually in reference to standings, we could potentially put just the teams conference in there without making the sidebar several pages long as well. Probably just format it to run at the bottom of the sidebar as a schedule table then conference standings table.
