    You're the only bot guy I know. (Sorry for not getting back about the other stuff. I have 500+ messages I mean to get through eventually.) I still don't understand RSAW or API stuff. I think in the spring I may learn. I'm more interested in auto-posting than responses, unless it's a secondary response to an auto-posting-bot - like a forward to let me when someone responds to one of my bots, assuming I made a bunch of bots to auto-post content or feeds - or in this case a SaidIt-New-Subs-This-Week bot.

      I had to look up what an API is. Good to know. I'm going to draft up a manifesto of sorts for my trillion dollar ideas and that term will cover much of that. It will also come in handy in my epic story.

      Is the RSAW run by the SaidIt server or is that for your device to do?

      Does my OP seem doable? It seems some folks like the concept considering the votes so far, not even 24 hours old.

      You might want to start simply and add more features in time - and might re-build it for other SaidIt-utility-bots. For example, in addition to auto-posting the new bots this week you could build weekly auto-posts for the top 20 insightful posts, top 20 insightful comments, top 20 fun posts, top 20 fun comments, top 20 most active posts, top 20 most active subs, top 20 music posts, top 20 political posts, etc. If necessary you could recruit help with sub classifications to limit your field. I've got a good start with my multi-subs, though far from complete or comprehensive, though this week I think I reached some limits.

        Good to know.

        No hurries, no worries. Thanks for considering it. Please document it if you can for others to dev stuff with. I might even dip into that realm if it's not too deep.

          That would be rad.

          If you do, after I return, I'll whip up a poster or something pretty with your crypto info so folks can thank you if they don't ignore my promotional spam.

          Ages ago I recommended M7 draft up some code bounties to patch up issues and such. People could donate to them, and the coders could be rewarded, and the site could improve. Money talks but I guess it's not that important.
