# fontbot
Choose word, choose font, tweet.
| Algorithm | Example |
| --- | --- |
| ![modus operandi](http://g.gravizo.com/g?digraph G { "take last 10 random tweets" -> "get first interesting word" -> "pick random font" -> "render the word using the chosen font" -> "tweet the image" -> "take last 10 random tweets" }) |  |

Closed all remaining issues, fontbot is ready to deploy.
## 2016-07-12
Choosing random font:
```bash
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: Cantarell-Bold.ttf
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: Cantarell-Bold.ttf
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: LearningCurve_OT.ttf
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: Quicksand-Italic.ttf
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: Exo-SemiBold.ttf
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: Quicksand-BoldItalic.ttf
C:\Users\Piotr\Documents\fontbot>stack exec fontbot-exe
found 33 fonts
randomly chosen font: Quicksand-Bold.ttf
```
Full process implemented:
## 2016-07-09
Interesting changes today:
* slightly changed tweet search keyword - "a" produces much more random results
* cleaned up retrieved interesting words
* chained the tweet-generating functions together:
* tweet retrieval
* font preview generation
* tweeting
Now, when executed, the fontbot grabs the first interesting word out of a batch of retrieved tweets, generates the image (fixed font) and tweets it.
## 2016-07-07
Playing with (very simple) regular expressions and extracting potentially interesting words:
```bash
search metadata:
- query: "Haskell"
status:
"This must be a canonical choice among isomorphic objects."
first interesting word:
canonical
```
## 2017-07-06
I added more fonts and think I'm finally happy with the media size and text positioning:
## 2016-07-05
Playing with regular expressions:
```bash
search metadata:
- query: "Haskell"
raw status:
"Win a copy of James Haskell: RugbyFit https://t.co/rh3q5CiXgG"
filtered status:

raw status:
"The recent watercolor paintings of Ann Jones will be on display at the Hall Haskell House Gallery in Ipswich. .... https://t.co/Vd1E6HG7y6"
filtered status:

raw status:
"RT @joshuaclayton: Three months into learning #haskell with @haskellbook! Wrote up how to refactor to a monad transformer stack: https://t.\8230"
filtered status:

```
## 2016-07-03
Fontbot can now render text to images.
## 2016-07-02
Fontbot can now read and process twitter search results:
```bash
$ stack exec fontbot-exe
search metadata:
- query: "Haskell"
status:
"RT @notsleeeping: @TVG American Freedom looked good! Baffert might have his Haskell horse, going for #9, & for 6 wins in the last 7 Haskell\8230"
---
status:
"RT @Steve_Byk: @DRFHersh @EaSyGoEr53 As of tonight, Baffert leaning American Freedom to Haskell, Arrogate toward Travers."

"Vintage Miriam Haskell signed double chain necklace Russian gold gilt pendant https://t.co/Pxrt595goI https://t.co/q6VyXN9XCW"

```
## 2016-07-01
Once the POC tweeting mechanism was ready, I decided not to reinvent the wheel going further and to use the twitter-conduit.
