Lynnear Edition

This version makes quite a few changes from the original, such as:

• Unicode support
• Non-Markov stuff
• Stores toots in a sqlite database rather than a text file
  • Doesn't unecessarily redownload all toots every time

Install/usage guide

An installation and usage guide is available here. It's primarily targeted at Linux, but it should be possible on BSD, macOS, etc. I've also put some effort into providing steps for Windows, but I can't make any guarantees as to its effectiveness.

Original README

hey look it's an ebooks bot

python3

install the requirements with sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

make a bot (probably on bots in space) and follow the target accounts

run python3 main.py to login and scrape

run python3 gen.py to make a toot

cron is an okay choice to make it toot regularly
