## Project Notes | ||
|
||
1. I had to develop an instagram posting bot *without* an Instagram account since I don't want to have a ton of social media accounts. | ||
2. HelioHost's RSS Feed doesn't have ETags, meaning I had to develop a way to check the last post using another method | ||
a. (I did this using the post's time btw) | ||
3. I take no credit in the background image that the image generation uses. (I Forgot what their name was replace this text later when you have a chance) created the background image and helped find the fonts used. They also suggested that I generate multiple images for the instagram post, which took a bit of testing to get right. | ||
4. I had to replace HTML tags with their real text counterparts, which was fun to make. | ||

While this project is still being worked on, it is being actively used in production for HelioHost. This means that all pull requests must be verified working, and must be as minimally intrusive as possible (Ignore the large PR that is this refactoring). |
