Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18980 (April 24th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #18980 (April 24th 2024) (x86 only)

NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Winamp Skins Twitter bot
« on: January 24, 2018, 03:54:11 AM »
I made a Twitter bot which tweets a screenshot of a Winamp skin, along with a link to the skin (and a link to try the skin on Winamp2-js) a few times a day.

You can see it here: https://twitter.com/winampskins

Feedback welcome!

Am so glad it doesn't seem to be just picking random skins & posting them as I don't think I've seen any obvious skin generator created skins :) (which is a good thing as so many of them sucked)

Originally I thought I could get away with just posting random ones, but as you point out, there are too many bad/boring ones.

So, I do a manual review process where I only approve “interesting” skins.

Maybe the solution would be for an altnerative bot that instead posts all of the bad / crappy skins & see which one does better on user interaction, etc :)

Don't get me wrong, "bad" and "crappy" skins are welcome, as long as they are interesting. Only "boring" skins don't make the cut.
