A friendly bot that does all sorts of things related to Khan Academy.

Hello World

blobby's Issues

Add option to make `/info` ephemeral

Add `fast` option to use KhanPJS in `/run pjs`

In addition to #26, execution times of /run pjs can be further reduced by using KhanPJS instead of using Khan Academy's environment.

Possible option names:

• fast
• emulate
• experimental

Show warning about boilerplate for `/run html`

It doesn't seem general knowledge that boilerplate is enabled by default for /run html.

Possible solutions include:

• A warning if error is caused by boilerplate
• Remove boilerplate if <!DOCTYPE detected at start of the code

Add "Custom Thumbnails" topic to `/info`

Resources:

• Bluebird's script
• KA Hearth Post
• ski's thumbnail.js?

Add "Websites" topic to `/info`

Include links to willard.fun, Khanalytics, KA Hearth, etc.

`/program get` shows no data for hidden program

Currently, the /show_scratchpad endpoint is used to check for a program's existence. Falling back to /scratchpads or an alternative endpoint should do the trick.

Create `/help` command

Although slash commands have their own "help" command via the menu, they're still new for most users who are familiar with traditional Discord bots.

Limit number of programs to fetch for `/user get`

Case in point: it takes over a minute to get whitelight's profile because they have 10,215 programs.

Gathering full program stats for users with more than a specific amount can be set as an option or button if needed in the future.

`/run` stalls for incorrect `program` option

This check doesn't seem to be working.

Mention user if commands takes a long time

Animations broken for `/run pjs` modals

`/user get` does not respond

`/run` doesn't support width < 400

This is because KA doesn't support smaller sizes via URL parameters but perhaps editing the DOM directly could work.

Add "Frame Rate" topic to `/info`

Add title option for `/search code`

And rename /search code to /search program.

`/info` fails for topics with long content

Discord's 2,000 character limit needs to be taken into account for topics with long content.

Possible fixes sorted by appeal

• Somehow bypass the restriction (e.g. multiple messages)
• Warn or throw error on bot start
• Truncate content

Show progress for slow commands

To let the user know things are working, if Discord rate limits permit, an embed can be edited to show progress.

Keep Puppeteer browser open for `/run`

Most of the execution time of /run commands is for loading Khan Academy. By keeping the browser open, resources will be cached possibly leading to lower load times.

Browser option for `/run` commands

Useful for quickly checking compatibility across browsers. Puppeteer seems to support Firefox at least experimentally.

Add "Animation Guard" topic to `/info`

Add ASCII nickname field to database

Potential tools:

• fold-to-ascii
• iconv
