Hey, Iโve been kicking around an idea for a bot: it would look for fanfiction links shared in a server and keep track of which ones get shared the most.
The concept:
Track sites like AO3, FanFiction.net, ScribbleHub, etc.
Count how often each link gets posted
Commands to see the โtopโ links or which domains are tracked
Itโs just a rough idea, I havenโt built it yet. Curious if anyone thinks this would actually be useful or has tips for implementing it without overcomplicating things.
