vsketch VS Errbot

The frames' vector data is generated using a sketch made with my vsketch framework (it involves loading GeoJSON data, processing it with Shapely, and projecting it in 3D with NumPy).

There isn't a GUI, but that's by design. The CLI format facilitates the integration in automated workflows. The show command does provide a viewer for visualisation at any point in the pipeline. Also, I have another framework (based on vpype) named vsketch which is a plotter-centric python clone of Processing with a viewer and live refresh.

Matplotlib for plotter stuff seems tedious indeed ! Definitly check out vsketch, it has an API similar to processing, but focused on generating plotter-ready SVG.

I started by using Processing, but have switched to [vsketch](https://github.com/abey79/vsketch), a Python-based framework which has a similar API to Processing. I like it because it has built-in UI for changing parameters, which I find hugely useful. Plus, it integrates with vpype, which is designed for image processing for plotters.

This reminds me of a time 10 years ago when the company IRC channel had a bot that was able to interpret python and output the result. We got nerd-sniped for a few hours trying to make the bot interpret its own output as input again. Fun times.

This ChatGPT thing looks like a box that has been opened and cannot be closed again.

Btw, that chatbot from my anecdote eventually evolved into errbot. https://github.com/errbotio/errbot

So I started working on a bot that would live in modchat, able to help us with whatever we needed and something that could be extended in the future. (For those interested in the tech side of things, we originally started by building on the errbot platform before eventually building a brand new system from scratch that better fit our needs.) As we built, we needed a name for the new bot; a few different names got thrown around, but we eventually settled on Bubbles.

Interesting Project.

I'm sure you're aware of Errbot (https://github.com/errbotio/errbot), though not specifically designed with slack in mind: I have had excellent success with this framework.

How does slack-machine compare?

PS: Please forgive the naive question, I'm about the board a flight and don't see anything mentioned or anything radically different about the stated goals.

Some limitations: if I'm on the tramway I'd like to send a Telegram message to my bot, but when I'm on a terminal, maybe I'd prefer to interact using IRC or Slack, if I'm in front of my desktop. Six years ago somebody asked about this in the Google+ group (now disappeared) and later somebody asked for this in the GitHub issues forum Support multiple backends in one instance #1137. But no advances on this matter appeared.
