⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)

2. Be kind and friendly.

Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

A little "teaser" project of a huge project I'll be making (before the big Generator Manager update) (perchance.org)

I've recently been motivated to work on this little project that I've been working for about a day in total. But my fears for the bad comments to be thrown over the experiment generator again and considering of some complexities to move it there have decided me to not put it up on that generator page and keeping it on this generator page.

This is an early implementation of what could I say as an improved, more "advanced" version of the original comments plugin, with these features outside of the original comments plugin that utilizes the onComment/onLoad features and a bit of the programmatic submission feature:

A re-made set of Markdown formatting syntaxes, so you could format comments (lists, quotes and code blocks aren't supported currently, but you can highlight, glow, or change font size of any text!)
Default nicknames set with generated arbitrary words based on tags
Notification sounds
URL blocking
And many more

And I also want to mention these:

Upcoming support for reposting, liking, replying, and saving on comments(!) using hundreds of comment containers (aka "servers") to store these

Asides, you can also select from a set of generator names as a source outside of the generator page (so the comments from there will be linked to this, and you'll be able to comment from that generator right on this page), and you can also add new generator names (of course, there'll be some blocked names like generators to avoid some flooding and stuff like that).

I've also kept some of the Dev's notes from the onComment/onLoad example, just because I forked this little teaser from that.

Some known issues:

The "No comments yet" placeholder does not show up when the frame gets reloaded with a new generator source/channel selection
Since the comments formatting uses a remake version of the Markdown formatting parser I made myself (with some regexes taken from different online sources), there are still missing token on formats (e.g., lists, quotes, etc.)
When inputting some text into the "fake" input section (the upper one), it seems like it doesn't put the text into the actual input area straight away from the upper one. And when you logged into admin, the input text doesn't (just because there's not any variable that determines whether user is logged in as admin or not yet).

I don't know what else can I say about the project, but if anyone wants to contribute into describing it much further, or maybe suggest new features, please let me know! 😊
