      It’s a hacked-together python script. Should I try to clean it up and open source it? It’s not well-organized right now, though.

        I’d be interested, yes.

        But if you don’t feel like publishing it at the current state and don’t plan to “clean it up” any time soon, don’t rush it. There are some bots out there that could do the trick if i sit down properly^^
