FlagTrail - New Web Interface for Easier Access

in #utopian-io6 years ago (edited)

FlagTrail now has a web interface. If you don't know or forgot what FlagTrail is, here is a refresher. It is a Discord Bot that downvotes with all available subscriber accounts at once. Only @steemflagrewards moderators can command it do downvote. Read more here.

Why also web?

FlagTrail was only a Discord bot. users need to register and manage their accounts using the bot. A few commands are a bit complex for everyday users. @imacryptorick requested a web interface connected to the bot. Using it users can join and manage their accounts in a familiar interface.

Website

https://flagtrail.herokuapp.com/

How to use?

Step 1:

Visit the website and click on Log in With Discord button. This will redirect you to Discord website for authentication. Click Authorize button there.

If you are not a member of FlagTrail Discord server already, it will add you to that Discord.

Step 2:

After authorization, you'll see your Dashboard. If you are new to FlagTrail, you won't see any accounts listed. it will ask you to add a new account. I already added 2 accounts using the Discord bot, I am seeing those. I can also add more or remove existing ones.

Step 3:

Let's assume, I don't have any accounts added. I need to click Add Account button on the navigation bar to get to add account page.

Now I need to fill out the form following the instructions below each field. You can also use this post. Please authorize the @flagtrail account to use your posting authority. The bot requires it to downvote/upvote/comment from your account.

Step 4:

If you want to manage your account, click Edit button under each account boxes. Change the settings as required and click Save. Your settings will be live immediately.

Step 5:

If you want to delete an account, click on the Remove button, and when you see the confirmation window, click Yes.

You should revoke @flagtrail's posting access to account.

Why it is not OpenSource?

I have plans to restructure the Discord bot and the web interface into one repository. I need to do some changes to get to that position. That's why the website is not open source yet. The Discord bot is open source and you can find it here.

How to get support?

If you face any problem, please reach out to me at Discord reazuliqbal#1149 or any other SFR moderators.

Huge shout-out to @anthonyadavisii, @enforcer48, @pjau, @steemseph, and @themarkymark for testing the website.

Glad to see you are growing on the web side. This is great progress! Users LOVE the ability customize their own settings using a slick interface versus CLI.

Don't get me wrong. As a scripter, I love the command line but it's not for everyone so ceating a UI makes the flag trail functionality more accessible. That is a win for anti-abuse. Kudos!

Looking forward to the open sourcing of the web side. That will be a valuable.

I won't use it yet because it is not opensource and I have no idea if it is safe or not! What kind of security did you get ​set up for the site? How do you handle the keys?? Does it use steemconnect?

Thank you for not flagging me again in this post. 😟

This doesn't require your keys, it uses oAuth to verify and login you using Discord.

Thanks for getting back so fast. It looks interesting, I might give it a try then. It sounds like a lot of work, I need to set my discord back up then, I'm behind the curve on the discord bots! I did not even know all this was possible! Nice work!!

I appreciate it. Thank you.
