This rant has been written from the Signal messaging app and uses a custom Signal 'gateway' (a registered user which is a server in this case) with a PHP api behind it. If this rant appears on devRant, it fucking works!

    @ribchinski I'll bring that out once this fucker works entirely!

    Writing a bot which can include all kinds of features (i can already ask it the time 😊)

    @ribchinski Also, i definitely can't take all credit, most work has been done by somebody else but goddamn it works.

    Awesome!

    Opensource it please, I can't figure out how I can send and receive messages with an api
  • 5
    You ingenious beast!
  • 5
    So that's why you needed to know how the API works. Cool!

    Damn, i now can get the weather forecast for 5 days and get the current date/time 😊

    Let's try this with a comment...

    @linuxxx Holy shit this too works right away 😊

    But nice take on it @linuxxx glad you're putting the gateway/webhook service i made for you to good use haha

    @PerfectAsshole first credits in the entire rant, damn bruh
  • 5
    @devRow Haha well I've been working on it for a few weeks in my spare time. @linuxxx asked me about it this morning so i sent him a message from my testing gateway after that i wrote him a quick server but i didn't think he would tie it in with devrant. That is a really neat idea
  • 5
    @devRow but the reason i put the link was incase anybody wanted to start playing with signal bots/gateways. It's still in it's v0 stages cause there's alot of things i still need to do but I'm making sure any changes are backwards compatible as a courtesy
  • 3
    @devRow I'll just make clear that i gave the credits to a at that moment unknown person, wasn't sure if he wanted them in plain text on here.

    But yes @PerfectAsshole, it works ;)
  • 4
    @Codex404 as for the gateway and the webhook part, take a look at @PerfectAsshole's earlier comments, he's the mastermind behind this!

    @Jmann bots aren't a new thing.. for example there is the @randomquote bot (or something like that)

    I'm gonna have to learn go now, where go was on the bottom of languages I wanted to learn...
    Or I'm gonna port it to another language.

    @linuxxx what kind of simcard did you get for the bot?
  • 4
    @Codex404 Cheap lyca mobile sim from a local Turkish phone-repair shop 😄
  • 3
    @linuxxx hmm just checked the site:

    Ik heb mijn Lycamobile voor een tijdje niet gebruikt en het is nu gestopt met werken. Hoe komt dat?

    Lycamobile deactiveert automatisch SIMkaarten die langer dan 3 maanden niet gebruikt zijn om te bellen of om een sms te sturen. Helaas kunnen deze SIMkaarten niet opnieuw worden aangesloten en het mobiele nummer zal na deze tijd ook niet meer beschikbaar zijn

    (For non dutch people, after 3 months without a call or text it will get deactivated)

    Do you know if signal still works when you don't have a working sim after registration?
  • 3
    @Codex404 No clue but I bought 5 euro of credit so I can text myself once every 3 months :D
  • 3
    Wow :o Great work! :)

    Signal would be really cool on the ZeroPhone as well, hopefully we can do that some day.

    @linuxxx haha, that's lonesome af..
    "Hi linuxxx, how's your day? By the way, it's 13:37 on December 4th 2018, Santa's posing for the media's A1 posters and calendars, meanwhile slaying his last elves for the year and Sinterklaas is preparing his niggas for a safe trip through Amsterdam. It'll be like cold, very cold for the next FIVE days too, so hide yo kids and hide yo wife. High five!"

    @xewl niggas? Black Peres dont have anything tot do with black people. They get black from the chimney...
  • 3
    @Codex404 signal still works without an active number but if you do not have control of the number somebody else can register the number and then you loose access to it
  • 1
    @Codex404 ahw come on man... I know.
  • 1
    @xewl the problem is that most foreigners don't and say we are racist... So when someone says something like that I will explain the whole story (not this morning because I had to leave)
  • 2
    @Codex404 Oh well, "ik wil geen roet in je eten gooien" but... why even bother about what they think.
  • 1
    @xewl because the UN wants to get rid of it because it would be racist?
  • 2
    @Codex404 Fuck the UN xD Next up they'll claim that the colourful ones to fix that shit are harmful to the LBGTQI-community
  • 2
    @xewl I understand that, but let's not dig our own grave by calling black Pete that.
  • 2
    @Codex404 "Black Pete" is probably still a category on Prōnhūb

    @linuxxx I am trying things out now with a lycamobile sim, but do you use the gateway like it is in the example or not?

    TextNow is not available in our region and when I use a second phone to retrieve an with key I get back an 403. I assume that's because the security generated on the phone is not the same as the one generated by the gateway.

    It also looks like the gateway should request the key itself but I don't receive anything on my phone that way, I'm kinda stuck now

    @Codex404 How did you enter the code? (as in literally) (and yes I'm using it as it's shown in the example)
