Publish Times

This is a very simple console application that generates a list of times to publish news articles within a randomized 2-3 hour delay while avoiding time conflicts within a 30-minute window.

Exporting

Once it generates a list of times, you can retry or export the times. If you export, you're requested to select from a number of topics or default to none if no selection is made. Upon export, you can start over or exit.

Choice selection is based on the Y/N keys. Enter works the same as Y while pressing any other key is the equivalent of N. You can make mistakes, but it expects failure.

An optional config.toml file allows for further customization of file name, directory, and topics.

Background

A while back, I found a tool to schedule articles on Lemmy. I've been posting within a few hours apart at random minutes and I wanted to something decide that for me. I had AI write the base algorithm, everything else is my own touches.
