MarchBot is a small bot for Mastodon which posts the number of days since March 1st of 2020 in the reference frame of an imaginary calendar where March simply never ends.
When writing this bot, I had a few particular outcomes in mind:
- A social commentary on the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A practical excuse for me to get more familiar with the Go programming language.
- Learning to interact with the Fediverse programatically.
