Programming Job: Facebook To SaidIt And The World
In several Facebook groups and messenger chat groups rests vast unshared information ranging from meh to great - all privately held on Facebook until liberated.
I want a way to copypasta content over to SaidIt and other places quickly and easily. Currently it's a whole overwhelming thing.
I don't know exactly what the best way to do this is.
It could be as simple as a browser addon that takes a posting, chat comment, link, or image and brings it up in a new tab ready to submit to SaidIt (with user names removed) - or upload to a wiki or tube.
I don't know if /s/Programming is the best place for this. Perhaps a bot can help. Or someone can work magic with the API stuff.
It could be as complex as some kind of data scraper that pulls off all the content, and would allow me to go through the previous day's archiving to remove user names and to batch upload choice selections (removing all idle banter and repeat content (so much repetition!)) to a wiki (and also generate feeds and categories to better organize), tube, SaidIt, and/or other platform(s).
Ideally I'd like to sort the content into various basic topical categories and batch upload them into a single post each. (ie. COVID Today, Lockdown Today, Memes Today, Misc Today, Most Important Today, Surviving Today, Windsor Activism Today, Windsor Organizing Today, and Windsor Today. Obviously more can be added, including for other regions.)
There is just so much on Facebook I want to share with the world but it's so fucking overwhelming I just procrastinate.
I'm poor as hell, but am willing to offer a pittance for help on this. Or perhaps we can drum up a payment plan.
If this is in any way successful, I feel certain I can recruit some local assistance (ideally as a team) in this endeavour (as many realize we need to find resources outside Facebook - and this may be a lure - and a way to better organize ourselves) and we could easily raise more funds with an initial product that shows promising results.
Of course I'll share this on Facebook and I also intend to ask local classifieds for help on this too. If I find anyone local and accountable to help, from the anon online world you'll be expected to coordinate and cooperate with our local folks.
If you know anyone with some coding talent or interest in this, please let me know.
