You know that thing on my website that shows what I'm doing? Well, it used to be manually updated, but that got boring.
Now I have a complex system of janky programs that culminate in a bunch of if-then statements that generate that status! It even updates my Slack. I'm unstoppable.
Consumable at https://api.kognise.dev/ and deployed on the glorious Fly.io.
Public endpoints:
/- Get current activity and now playing song/history- Get full activity history/dash- Access web dashboard (only I can update statuses)
Kognise-only endpoints:
/manual- Manually update status/manual/clear- Clear manual status/ping/:key- Signify activity for a device class/list/:key/:sourceDevice- Update browser tabs or running apps/zoom- Zoom webhook updates
Compile StalkerMini (mobile app) to an APK with Gradle, I just used Android Studio.
Stalkerd (desktop daemon) needs a .password file to compile, which Rust embeds in the binary. Don't share the binary! I made this technical decision because I'm lazy.
The browser extension is quite cursed. If it doesn't work, you'll have to open the dev console; the error message should explain how to set the password.
Stalkerd is not cross-platform yet, only supports macOS.
- Some way to let me know if something is breaking on the backend
- Figure out why StalkerMini sometimes gets yeeted by the system
- Maybe switch to Spotify API for now playing
- Improve code quality (lmao as if)
