Hi everyone,
Darkest-PR (PR stands for Pull-Request) is a GitHub app/bot to narrate your development, making development more exciting or desperate.
When certain events occur in the repository, Darkest-PR automatically evaluates the situation and responds with a fitting quote of ancestor from Darkest Dungeon. Making the development more like a dungeon crawler run, a sensational journey, more alive, more sentimental, more thrilling and more depressing...
Depending on the contextual emotional matrix of the event, it could respond with a quote that'll raise the spirits of your teammates, rally their souls, or it could leave a comment to shame them for their failure, or compliment their greatness, strike fear into their hearts, speak out loud their rage.
Imagine such cases:
Someone is removed from PR assignment and the bot responds with:
- "Send this one to journey elsewhere, for we have need of sterner stock."
PR is rejected (request change) and the bot responds with:
- "Carelessness will find no clemency in this place!"
PR is closed without merge and the bot responds with:
- "A setback, but not the end of things!"
PR is accepted and merged immediately and the bot responds with:
- "A singular strike!"
Someone is assigned to an issue and the bot responds with:
- "More arrive, foolishly seeking fortune and glory in this domain of the damned.",
Sometimes the quotes are so fitting, so perfect for the situation; it makes development a marvelous journey. Such epic that is worth narrating.
My motivation for the project:
I've always enjoyed roguelike, dungeon-crawler and RPG games. Among all those games many, Darkest Dungeon has a special place in my heart. In no such game I've encountered such captivating, strong, profound and invested monologues. Both the audio and the narration scripts are spectacular. It is so shakespearean. Another reason I keep it so dear is that it's stress, hope, despair, loss mechanics are unique. It really makes you connected with the game, as if you're feeling the actual moments your characters are going through, the ambiance is riveting. The first time you get party-wiped, you learn the true meaning of desperation and the setting of the game. It's like Dark Souls of dungeon crawlers.
Fun fact: I unconsciously memorized 90% of all the quotes from Darkest Dungeon.
In my career, I've reviewed thousands upon thousands pull requests. Countless issues, bugs tackled. Worked with my fellow teammates to undertake many challenging features. Each of these feature a different setting of emotions; some of them are definitive struggles, some a gentle breeze, some terrorizing nightmares, some are well-deserved relief after completing them.
Then I realized, each development is very similar to Darkest Dungeon runs. Your team is your party, your environment is your location, your task/goal is your adversary. So it would be apt to narrate the development like so.
And for this reason, Darkest-PR has come to life. To make development process more interactive, more fun, more story-like, an epic tale.
This is a fantastic idea, @skywarth! Turning PRs into a Darkest Dungeon-like experience is pure genius. Can't wait to see how this will raise the stakes in our GitHub adventures. Upvote for creativity! 🕹️
Congrats on launching Darkest-PR! @skywarth This GitHub app brings a new level of emotion and drama to the development process by using iconic quotes from Darkest Dungeon. It makes code reviews and pull requests more engaging and story-like, turning each one into a thrilling dungeon crawl. Looking forward to seeing this tool add excitement and fun to the lives of developers everywhere—great job!
Not sure adding quotes from a game will make coding more fun, feels like a gimmick, maybe focus more on practical features that developers actually need instead of game references
Found this app through a friend, not sure if quoting game characters really adds value or just confuses more, maybe focus on making the dev process better itself rather than just adding fun, else it's just a gimmick what other features do you plan for those working solo
So does it come with a guide to understand the quotes or are we just gonna Google half the stuff it says, anyway might be less about coding and more about playing a guessing game 🚀
Saw this app mentioned on a random forum, honestly the concept feels more gimmicky than useful, it's like someone just threw in quotes to make coding fun but it might get annoying fast, hope there's an option to turn it off
This app idea sounds kinda goofy, found it through a random ad, ever think about adding more customization for the quotes or maybe letting users add their own?
I like the idea of making devs feel like they're in a dungeon crawler! It's like bringing some game magic into coding. Btw, can it be customized with different games' quotes or just Darkest Dungeon? Either way, love the vibe! Keep it up!
Added a new screenshot from the app, first image in the gallery. An entertaining exchange indeed :D
Darkest-PR is a really interesting concept! It automatically responds to certain events with quotes from the ancestor in Darkest Dungeon, turning the development process into a dungeon-crawling adventure—more alive, thrilling, and sensational. This adds a layer of fun and makes the journey of development feel more vivid. 🎮🕹️
Congratulations @skywarth on launching Darkest-PR! This is such an innovative concept that brilliantly merges game design with development processes. The way you're incorporating Darkest Dungeon quotes to reflect various moments in PRs is nothing short of genius. It adds an entirely new dimension to collaborating with teams, turning each pull request into a narrative experience.
I can't imagine how much fun it’ll be for developers to gain both motivation and a good laugh (or a good scare!) from the bot's responses. Having that emotional matrix reflected in the comments creates a sense of camaraderie among teammates, almost like battling through a dungeon together. It really feels like you're bringing the essence of roguelike gaming into the realm of coding.
Congratulations on launching Darkest-PR, @skywarth! This concept of intertwining game quotes with development is genius. It really adds a unique narrative layer and can transform a mundane pull request into an epic journey. Can't wait to see how this will elevate our coding adventures! Upvote!
🎉 Congrats on the launch! This is a massive achievement, and I'm thrilled to see it come to life. Your hard work and dedication truly. Can't wait to use it! 💪 @skywarth
Fun idea, I'd implement that if my previous company's repo to have so more fun during the day ahah 😄 now working mostly on my own there are a little less actions on the PR 😅
This is such a unique idea, @skywarth! Turning PRs into a Darkest Dungeon narrative sounds like an absolute game-changer for devs. It'll definitely add some spice to the usual merge monotony! Can't wait to see how this evolves. Also, that "A singular strike!" quote is a perfect touch for a swift merge! 🐉
This is such an innovative concept, @skywarth! Darkest-PR really takes the mundane process of pull requests and elevates it to a whole new level. Giving each interaction the weight of Darkest Dungeon's haunting quotes adds a layer of storytelling and emotion that's rarely found in development tools. 🎮
I love how you've drawn parallels between the challenges faced in coding and the struggles of dungeon crawling. It truly creates a sense of adventure within the dev process. Plus, who wouldn’t want a bot commenting on their PRs with the same gravitas as the ancestor? It's like adding a dramatic flair to what often feels like a tedious task.
Can't wait to see how the community responds to this - definitely hoping to Upvote it! Keep up the fantastic work, making GitHub a little more thrilling feels like a dream come true! #PH #Makers
