The Chill Coding Lounge

Im thinking of getting back to writing again. I have accumulated some ideas over the past couple of months. I hope to spread some positivity and different thinking style to each and every single one of you. Appreciate yall so much

TL;DR: Built a YouTube + Telegram bot project to notify my parents when new አራዳ ቅዳሜ episodes are uploaded by the EBS channel.

I am thinking of making it generic in the near future so it can apply to any demographic and specific filter. Proud of this what I guess is a simple project.

Now that being said, I have to still figure out a way to make sure that this script is running indefinitely on launch (as my broke ass doesn't have access to VPS' like digital ocean so I can't use pm2). My idea for now is to launch it on render and have the url be hit every 10 to 15 minutes so that it doesn't go to sleep until I find a better way of handling it

Decided to create a small project that uses the YouTube API and telegram bot API. The idea started when my parents were trying to watch አራዳ ቅዳሜ via YouTube but sometimes the ebs channel doesn't post the videos. It got me thinking to build a telegram bot that allows my parents to get notified whenever episodes come out. Why wouldn't I just stick with the normal YouTube notification? Well, in this case ebs puts out tons of videos as it has multiple programs. I also wanted to ease the notification process for my parents, so I made it so that it only notifies them when new አራዳ ቅዳሜ episodes come out, alongside providing the links to said video. Here is an example of what I have cooked up to test the project so far (without the filter for kidame arada vids):

Went out and bought a type C earphone since the one I had (that lasted me for 8 month btw) decided to die on me. My finances are now in the great depression🗣🗣

What the heck is Hereditary even about gang?😭😭 I can't even code at night without staring at the corners of the room.

Today has me looking at the imaginary camera like this 🥲🥲
