namecountdown

make your fedi display name count down to a date

dependencies

  • jq
  • curl
  • bash

how

  1. update the settings in config.example.sh with the following
    • INSTANCE_URL - instance url
    • ACCESS_TOKEN - access token
    • NAME_PATTERN - display name pattern, the string {} will be replaced with the countdown timer
    • ON_DATE_NAME - display name to set on the date that is being counted down to. this is just a static name. no date difference substitution is performed here (it would always be 0 anyway)
    • COUNTDOWN_DATE - the date to count down to, in some form that date -d will understand
  2. rename config.example.sh to config.sh
  3. run namecountdown.sh -d to dry run and print the display name it should change to
  4. run namecountdown.sh to actually update your display name

if the date to count down to has passed, the script does nothing

you'll probably want to put this on a cron job or something to update every day

enjoy
