Remove .github directory from project. As it only contains FUNDING details and the patreon page is not active anymore.

This bot runs as a cron job. We want to containerized this in docker.
Create a docker file which will use cron job config as input and run the job insider container

Details about running the bot is available here

Hello,

The post in twitter about good first issue is not always the first issue, when a tag is added and there is a conversation history the bot ends up getting the tag again and posting as a good first issue, and the problem is already being resolved.

• test function for humanize_url
• main run() function

In readme issues link is broken here
https://github.com/arshadkazmi42/first-issues#contributing

It should be redirecting to this page

Some lines exceed the recommended line size of 79 characters. They need to refactored for readability.

Hi All,

We are looking for a sponsor, who can sponsor a Ubuntu machine, to run this bot.

Currently the bot is not up as we have ran out of funds.

Reply on this thread, if you want to sponsor us

I just want to add relevant emojis at few places shall I ?

Currently, command presented in HOW_TO_USE.md file is:
python first_timers/run.py --creds-path credentials.json --db-path data/db.json --only-save

When I first tried to deploy it, this command gives:
DB file does not exist and argument--create was not passed

Therefore, we can add --create flag to this command and the second command as well.
python first_timers/run.py --creds-path credentials.json --create --db-path data/db.json --only-save

I can create PR for this. Please let me know if I am following proper process. Thanks!

Add Utkarsh as sponsor in readme.
We are planning to have a circular avatar added in readme.

Add a install dependency step in usage docs.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Let change this
You can follow the twitter account @first_issues or telegram channel @first_issues

to show logo of twitter and telegram which will have hyperlink to the specific bot pages

We have a icon directory in the repository.
But we are not using it. Let's remove that directory.

Deploy the bot and make it live.

Write a readme.
Include setup steps.
Note: Add credits to https://github.com/musically-ut/first-timers-only-bot

The rendering of images seems to be broken on Github. Or is it just me?

We want to remove the contributors section from readme as github now shows the contributors list on right side bar of the repository.

So maintaining in the readme is redundant

For this, you just need to remove 67 to 72

Need a avatar for this bot, for the twitter account

Add a contribution guide

Change this line

https://github.com/arshadkazmi42/first-issues/blob/master/.github/workflows/pytest.yml#L3

similar to these lines

https://github.com/gh-conf/rhof/blob/master/.github/workflows/nodejs.yml#L3-L5

• Build is failing for python 3.6 and 3.7

Check and fix the issue.

Update the workflow if required

In this PR #53 we integrated languages #tags in tweet.
Some of the tweets have a huge number of tags due to which sometimes the tweet length is exceeding and API call to post a tweet is failing.
We need some limit to #tags used in the tweet. It should be dependent on the total length of the tweet and actual content should be present in the tweet

Logs are also useful to detect common mistakes users make, as well as for security purposes. Writing good logs about a user's activity can alert us about harmful activity. It is important that logs can provide accurate context about what the user was doing when a specific error happened.

Tweets texts are getting appended with b' due to some encoding issue.
This needs to be fixed.

Typo of tweeter in readme
It should be twitter

Test discovery is best handled by adopting good practices.

I suggest we move in a phased manner. Begin by adopting good practices for tests outside application code, which is the way it is currently configured.

• From ~2013 (from unittest era), read Kenneth Reitz suggested test suite structure here

• considering the use of importlib

• restructuring the repo with /src layout

• conftest.py seems to be versatile

  • and can come in handy in conjunction with test-plugins
  • including Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)
  • an example from pipenv - https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/blob/main/tests/conftest.py

• write some more tests

  • Mocks https://realpython.com/python-cli-testing/#unit-testing-with-pytest-and-mocks
  • Integration https://realpython.com/python-cli-testing/#integration-testing

Let's move How to use steps, to a new file name HOW_TO_USE.md and add a link to README.md

Encode label names to parse spaces in the name

adding code of conduct.md helps to improve this repository😊

It would make easier to find the projects to contribute.

I'm thinking adding the languages as hashtags after the #github hashtag.

Let me know if I can start working on this improvement.

For #61
