Integration

Following the quickstart documentation I tried to add cactus comments to this blog. I currently rely on infrastructure by cactus.chat as I do not host a private synapse server.

I currently implemented this as a shortcode with hard-coded site title and a variable room name.

Quickstart with HUGO

Register your site

There is a registration system, that ensures that you are moderater in your comment section(s). I order to register your site you have to send a message to @cactusbot:cactus.chat . First try help to ensure that the bot answers you, then register your site e.g. register hyteck. The bot should inform you of success and add you to a moderation room.

ILMO

is my first bigger FOSS-project. It aims at managing small libraries as found in a department of a university. You can finde the project on Github.

History:

I started to create ILMO for the (rather small) library in the study rooms of mediacal engineering. It contains about 300 books, 120 labcoats and safty glasses and some more stuff. As I was in charge of the lends I started to get annoyed by our paper-based solution. Especially when a bunch of people was trying to lend things it took to much time. Also reminding people to return stuff was unnecessary complicated. Therfore I started to programm this library management tool from scratch. I only reused some basic database and session functions. The project is still a field of learning how to do things for me. Nevertheless after about half a year of development and many tests the system went live in Winter 2018. Since then I fill the bugtracker and slowly improve workflows and add functions.
