Running Locally

npm i -g vercel
vercel dev

Your Python API is now available at http://localhost:3000/api.

TODO:

• integrate newer api features: https://github.com/MarshalX/atproto/releases/tag/v0.0.34

• fix post time zone

• Decide to keep or remove vercel compatability

• Simplify vercel layout (remove silly additions from messing with cron triggers)

• Support reposting long standing incidents (such as 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?

• Make errors / error-reporting more visible
