jsup/avle code update - you don't have to write post everyday

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/jsup-avle-code-update-you-don-t-have-to-write-post-everyday Hello, this is @joviansummer, developer of @jsup and@avle voting service. Voting service code for @jsup and @avle has been updated. I had been considering this update for a while, and recently I could come up with detailed implementation plan which resulted in a relatively swift code revision. The new added feature is capability to give daily upvote to the first thing you write for the day(timezone GMT+9) regardless of post or comment/reply. Writing a post everyday can be challenging. In that case, you can write a reply to receive daily upvote because writing a reply everyday is much easier and also a good way to engage in your community. Writing a post everyday just to get an upvote can be very tedious and exhausting, and post itself could easily become low-quality. There may be people who enjoy writing a post everyday, but we can't ignore th...

Making a table format on Discord

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/making-a-table-format-on-discord Hello, this is @joviansummer. My code revision of the automated missed-block reporter for witness Discord channel continues. After implementing mentioning(pinging) capability , I'm trying to convert reporting format to tabular form. It was requested by witness @steemchiller). On Steemit, creating a table is easy thanks to markdown table support. On Discord, unfortunately, table is not supported. Discord only supports a limited subset of markdown and table is not available. Thus, it seems the only way to make something similar is to use code block. In code block, text alignment possible because every character occupies the same width. You can see the difference from the screenshot below: Now, I need to make sure each field occupies pre-determined length. Thankfully, python provides a really useful capability called f-string. Here is an example. name = '@joviansumm...

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/how-to-mention-ping-user-on-a-discord-channel-with-web-hook Hello, this is @joviansummer. I've been providing automated hourly report of missed blocks on witness Discord channel. Considering witness @faisalamin's suggestion, I did some research and test to find out how to mention(ping) discord users when their witness nodes are missing blocks. The reporter process uses web hook to send missed blocks report. Discord's developer document for web hook is at https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook . I decided to write this post because it took me a bit of time to figure out how to ping a user. It might be of a little help for anyone interested in working with Discord web hook. When you use Discord with your web browser, mentioning someone is simple. You just type Discord username with preceding '@'. If you mention Discord user joviansummer for example, you just type @joviansu...
