fix post time zone
Increase frequency of checks (is 5 minutes enough? github actions doesn't keep to schedule well...)
Enable elevator incidents
Maybe: remove state via kv store and just check past interval (requires good scheduling to not miss any; might repeat posts sometimes)
Maybe: keep state but only store the date of the most recent posted update. Then post everything newer than that update.
Maybe: simply check own feed, and post anything newer than the timestamp of the last post (might miss anything between api check and post)
- better parse the timestamp of the update out of the last post!
Decide to keep or remove vercel compatability
- nanoatp breaks compatability with python 3.9 on here?
Simplify vercel layout (remove silly additions from messing with cron triggers)
Make urls clickable via rich text (https://github.com/MarshalX/atproto/blob/main/examples/advanced_usage/send_rich_text.py)
- use detectFacets ? https://github.com/susumuota/nanoatp
- or just find start byte as "https://" and end byte as first whitespace after url? (might be too naive)
Support reposting long standing incidents (such as WMATA Green line currently) once a day or so.
- perhaps: if incident is older than 24 hours and time is within 1 interval of 8 am or 4 pm (commuting hours)?
Let manual posts not interfere with running (tag specifically bot posts, or pull more posts if the latest doesn't contain the time)
Trim spaces at the start/end of lines? avoid whatever caused this: https://bsky.app/profile/wmata-incidents.bsky.social/post/3k3ilx2ejfl2v
- modify dedent to not have \n interfere with it
- issue was: 'Description': 'Some D14 trips may be delayed due to operator availability. Check where your bus is at \nhttps://buseta.wmata.com/#D14'
- see https://github.com/theFestest/wmata-incidents/actions/runs/5678804071/job/15389726708
Consider replacing internal newlines in provided info to preserve formatting
Retry posting without facets if posting with facets fails?
