My JavaScript project is off to a slow start. I wanted to download the appropriate programs onto my old laptop, and as there is not much space on it I wanted to remove the local copies of my OneDrive files. Apparently this was too much for the poor thing which had a complete breakdown. So now I have just finished a full reset and am finally ready to start again with a clean slate. Why does creating a bot army have to be so hard? The amount of effort required to make things easier is absurd.
Your efforts are appreciated
Even if I never make it, it has already been a good learning experience. Just figuring out what I need to learn to do anything like that is tricky - and a lot of the "beginner" level information starts way above my level. I'm glad I have access to LinkedIn Learning, it's the first place I have found a course that instead of starting at "try typing these lines of code" acctually starts with telling you where to type the code.
I’m sure you are way ahead of me but have you checked out Frank bot in the bot-library?

I have found that one, and it looks like it is really useful. It has all the code there for doing regular posts, so once I can work out how to actually run a program and which details need to be changed to apply to our community it hopefully won't be too difficult. I now have programs loaded and am starting to run through the basics of how to deal with the code, so I am progressing.
