Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

[Community Events] Re-vamping the Community Events on the Perchance Hub (self.perchance)

I've mentioned this on another post, but I'll create a new thread to hear other opinions.

I'm proposing to have the Community Events on Perchance Hub be hosted on this Lemmy Community.

To accomplish this, the Forms tab on the Perchance Hub would be changed to Events tab. It would host the Event posts from this community.

That is, anyone can post an Event thread here and it would be mirrored on the Perchance Hub.

Technical Notes: The posts here would be retrieved (via the Lemmy API) and the posts would be filtered to events only. The Event posts will then be parsed and neatly displayed on the Perchance Hub. This would mean that the posts would have a template to follow.

This is so that anyone is welcome to create Events and those Event makers would be the ones who will manage their own events (no longer needing to wait the Perchance Hub update).

This way, there could be different events running, managed by different people, with different topics, event types, and limitations/rules and to update the details on the Perchance Hub, the event creators can just edit the event posts and it would reflect on the Hub.

Not yet sure about what details would be on the Perchance Hub. But something like @BluePower's Upcoming Events Page might be a good format/structure to remix with (although the comments plugin on each event on Perchance Hub might not be used since the Event Post already have a comments/thread to talk with).

Technical Notes: The mirrored details can probably include a cover image, ability for the creators to change the colors on the Hub, specify if it is an 'image' event, 'generator/page' based event, etc., so the formatting on the Hub would be nice.

In Summary:

  • Community Events will be hosted in https://lemmy.world/c/casual_perchance
  • Events are now hosted/managed by Event Creators
    • The posts would have a (somewhat strict) template to nicely structure them on the mirror on the Perchance Hub.
    • Events can simultaneously ran by different people, with different topics, event types, limitations or rules.
    • Events can be updated by the Event Creator
  • Event Details and Content / Template Format is not yet decided
  • Format in the Perchance Hub is not yet designed.

Additional Notes:

  • With this, I might remove the 'announcement modal' on the hub upon first visit (or when there is update to it) to remove the clutter.
  • Might also implement a dark mode to the Hub. (will require quite an overhaul on the hub page)
  • Might dynamically add the Event's banner on the Home Page for each event (with the most recent and about to end event on the top).
  • I currently do not have a stable internet so these changes might take a while to implement xD

The design/layout is really nice!

My only feedback is the button to go "back to events" from a event page should disable and maybe show a "loading..." or something while the event page data is loading so it's clear that something is happening. I clicked it a few times thinking it wasn't working and it triggered multiple loads.

Great job with this - awesome idea and very cool that the casual_perchance community can now programmatically "interact" with the hub!

Thanks! I've added a loader for when it loads.
