SenShi - AFK Streamer & IRC Bot

Automatic IceCast Streamer & IRC Bot, easily deployable. Currently supports only mp3 audio files. Website requests not available atm (TODO).

About:

This started as (planned) winter pastime project. If you ever heard of r/a/dio, this is essentially easily deployable Hanyuu-sama, written from scratch in Nim. Might not be as fancy, but does the job.

Note: This is not a rewrite or copy of Hanyuu-sama in other language, but an emulation i.e: 'imitation of behavior'.

Why (call it) emulation ?

• Developed purely from the knowledge of Hanyuu's behavior from the IRC chat.
• Haven't seen Hanyuu's source code in more than a year.
• More fun & challenging than rewritting existing code. No know-how.

TODO:

---

• Web requests support (ETA: When testing website is finished (might take a while, since i just picked up webdev) )
• More audio formats (flac, ogg ..)
• Will update when i think of more.
