test

that worked suprisingly well!

hey bird app users. you should see this

and indeed, they do!

okay so if you want to use this, install twit, get some twitter tokens and just run this node.js script somewhere:

let T = new (require('twit'))({
      consumer_key: 'xxx',
      consumer_secret: 'xxxxxx',
      access_token: '000000-xxx',
      access_token_secret: 'xxx'
})

let latest = 999999999999

let main = async () => {
        console.log('Fetching page...')
        let res = await fetch('https://cohost.org/lexi')
        console.log('Fetched, parsing...')
        let text = await res.text()
        let start = '<script type="application/json" id="trpc-dehydrated-state">'
        let water = text.split('\n').find(e=>e.startsWith(start)).replace(start, '').slice(0, -("</script>".length))
        let hydrated = JSON.parse(water)
        let posts = hydrated.queries[5].state.data.posts
        console.log(`Parsed, found ${posts.length} chosts, comparing...`)
        let new_posts = posts.filter(e=>e.postId > latest).map(e=>e.singlePostPageUrl)
        console.log(`Found ${new_posts.length} new posts: [${new_posts.join(' | ')}]`)
        latest = posts[0].postId
        new_posts.map(e=>T.post('statuses/update', {status: `i just posted on cohost! ${e}`}))
}

setInterval(main, 60*1000)
