sopel-hackernews 0.2.0

Hacker News plugin for Sopel.

sopel-hackernews

Hacker News plugin for Sopel.

Development status

The current version is more or less stable, but is still considered beta or pre-1.0 due to missing planned features and lack of testing for edge cases. See plans for 1.0 at https://github.com/sopel-irc/sopel-hackernews/issues/3

We welcome contributions from anyone who feels like implementing something from the 1.0 "wishlist", as well as bug reports and feature suggestions.

Installing

Releases are hosted on PyPI, so after installing Sopel, all you need is pip:

$ pip install sopel-hackernews

Configuring

sopel-hackernews supports Sopel's config wizard:

$ sopel-plugins configure hackernews

Available settings are as follows:

• relative_timestamps — whether timestamps will be "humanized" like "2 days, 3 hours ago" (the default) or shown as absolute values

Usage

Links to Hacker News items are expanded automatically.

You can search for a link on HN using the .rhn command:

.rhn https://somecool.site/that/posted/an/article/

Credits

Loosely based on dasu's hn.py module, which was licensed as "literally do whatever you want, i'm not liable for anything lol". Thank you for the springboard!
