Well that was a fun 10-hour coding sprint! It's been a while since I've been that focused for so long.

Just made two bots for @xoxo! They are only followable from Mastodon/etc right now.

ShuttleBot will post a stream of updates about where the two shuttles are during the festival: ShuttleBot@shuttle.xoxofest.com

XOXO_toots will boost toots from attendees that mention "xoxo", just like https://twitter.com/xoxofest_tweets does on Twitter!

My todo list is so long that I had already done some things on it and forgotten to check them off because I was too anxious about looking at my todo list because it was so long.
