⚄︎ 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.

Perchance App * Super Alpha WIP (self.perchance)

So I decided to try making a Perchance-App. I have no idea what I'm doing, this is my first app. So at the moment, this is just an ugly search that's not working yet. But it's a start. Maybe someone more capable than me could look into the search and talk to me/send a pull request. Anyway, spread the word, maybe we can take this somewhere.

very cool!

Though you may find Kotlin WebView does not play nice with Perchance AI. I tried to put a Perchance AI art gen in a kotlin webview long ago and it was detected as like 'adblocked' if i remember right.

nice experience you are gaining! Kotlin is very powerful. And cool idea with the improving organization. I probably wont look in to the Search since it's a bit out of my way, but kno that with Kotlin you can solve anything. Even if you have 30+ bugs, those are 30+ opportunities to learn what you did wrong and not do them again. also I highly suggest making a simplified Toast function you can place anywhere easy peasy for when solving issues (equivalent of console.log to tell yourself what variables are at each step so you can pinpoint when a value isnt getting from point A to point B).

Also, you can place your Context on a Companion Object and reference it as a global from anywhere. (may be useful in making a toast that works conveniently in weird places where you can't otherwise reference the Context).

I'm not even sure what an app would be that the site is not. What are your goals for making an "app" for perchance?

It' really simple: I want to search, rename titles, tag and sort into folders. I see what bookmarks can do, but my idea is to take it just a little further. I mean, there is an app for wikipedia as well. Plus it's a great excuse for me to get into coding. :)
