Changelog

Refactor

The code has been cleaned up and split up into multiple modules (reddit snooper, instagram, ocr, etc.) for better maintainability

Logging

A proper logging library is being used so that logs are saved for easier debugging

1. Separate logs are kept for each module of the bot (reddit snooper, instagram, ocr, etc.)
2. A combined log is available containing all the logs
3. An error log is available containing only errors

Auto-crop and Image resize

Images that do not meet the required aspect ratio or image dimensions set by Instagram will automatically be edited to meet the requirements

1. Images that are too tall will be cropped vertically
2. Images that are not tall enough will be letterboxed
3. Images that are not wide enough will be scaled up (while maintaining its aspect ratio)
4. Images that are too wide will be scaled down (while maintaining its aspect ratio)

All operations will be done with the center of the image used as the anchor

Progress Bars

The following operations now have progress bars indicating their progress:

1. Image upload
2. Image download
3. OCR

General Improvements

1. Updated tesseract.js to its latest version (Allows for improved and more efficient ocr processing)
2. Allow png file formats
3. Improved error handling
4. User is now prompted for an upload frequency during the setup process

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug where the login flow continues even after entering the wrong password for the Instagram account
2. Fixed a bug where NSFW posts do not get filtered out
3. Fixed a bug where posts with blacklisted words do not get filtered out
4. Fixed a bug where some special characters do not get parsed properly

• Further optimised image ratio compatibility checker
• Further optimised filesystem-compatibility converter

1.2.2

• Fixed a bug where 4 curly braces were missing.

1.2.1

Cleans up first time setup
Cleans up OCR progress status in console
Adds option to disable OCR separately from the AutoHashtag feature

Removes node-modules from release because I was being stupid

1.2.0

This version adds OCR.
It will scan the image for text and convert it into hashtags which will be added into the post.
It is a part of the AutoHashtag feature, so if you want to disable this, you will need to disable AutoHashtag entirely.

Or, you could modify the code yourself lol.

v1.1.0

Added multiple features and several bug fixes.
Features include simplifying subreddit choosing, automated setup, hashtag generator and custom captions.

v1.0.1

Fix for a bug where the caption will be messed up.

v1.0.0

This is the first version of the bot. It will download the top 25 images from the hot section r/all and upload them to instagram once every 10 minutes.

It will try and conceal the fact that they were stolen from reddit.
Images go to the error folder if Instagram rejects the ratio size.
