Matrix Scribe
JulianF announces
I'm working on a little hobby project, The Matrix Scribe.
The Matrix Scribe helps us re-post or transcribe messages into matrix that we received from somewhere else, posing as different ghost users to represent the original authors.
Scribe will post this:
AnnI'm Ann.
BobHello! I'm Bob.
when I write this to @scribe-bot:
@julian/scribe as Ann
@julianI'm Ann.
@julian/scribe as Bob
@julianHello! I'm Bob.
That is an illustration of the goal. The output part works already; the bot part isn't implemented yet.
Why?
- I want to encourage people to experiment and play with extending Matrix in creative ways.
- As a building block for myself towards building more usual matrix bridges. Scribe is the input half of the matrix half of a bridge, so literally one quarter of a typical matrix bridge.
- I hope that I myself and maybe some other people will find Scribe fun or useful in itself.
If you find this interesting...
- Come and say hello in the matrix room:
#matrix-scribe:foad.me.uk - See the blog post or the project README (similar content in both)
Scribe is not intended to mislead users. It should be deployed in such a way that its use is clear, and require appropriate permissions.
