W, A, S, D to change clothes. below that in papyrus font it says: TORSO (with chevrons highlighting it as selected), LEGS, SHOES](img.jpg)\n\n---\n\nthis is a bot that posts a queue of images to bsky and mastodon. it's written in [typescript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and runs on [node.js](http://nodejs.org/).\n\nyou can run it on your computer and even remix it into something new! you'll need node and git installed. if you install node manually, you should match the node version listed in [the `.node-version`](.node-version) file — but instead of installing node directly i recommend using [fnm](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm), which can automatically handle installing and switching node versions by detecting `.node-version` files.\n\nonce you're set, run:\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/lostfictions/yygarchive\ncd yygarchive\ncorepack enable # enables use of the pnpm package manager\npnpm install\npnpm dev\n```\n\nrunning `pnpm dev` will generate an image and save it to a file on your computer. when posting to the internet, this bot runs using github actions' [scheduled events](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#scheduled-events). check out the [workflow file](.github/workflows/twoot.yml) for more details.\n\nif you clone the repository you can run your own remixed version that posts to mastodon using github actions too! no need to edit the workflow file — you'll just need to set some environment variables in the github repository settings:\n\n- `MASTODON_TOKEN`: a Mastodon user API token\n- `BSKY_USERNAME`: the bot's username on Bluesky\n- `BSKY_PASSWORD`: the app password for the bot's account on Bluesky\n\nadditionally, `MASTODON_SERVER` (hardcoded in [src/env.ts](src/env.ts)) controls the mastodon instance to which API calls should be made (usually where the bot user lives.)\n\nthis bot uses [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv), so if you're testing things locally, you can stick any of the above environment variables in a file named `.env` in the project root. (it's gitignored, so there's no risk of accidentally committing private API tokens you put in there.)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flostfictions%2Fyygarchive","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flostfictions%2Fyygarchive","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flostfictions%2Fyygarchive/lists"}
