Stalker 😌

You know that thing on my website that shows what I'm doing? Well, it used to be manually updated, but that got boring.

Now I have a complex system of janky programs that culminate in a bunch of if-then statements that generate that status! It even updates my Slack. I'm unstoppable.

API

Consumable at https://api.kognise.dev/ and deployed on the glorious Fly.io.

Public endpoints:

• / - Get current activity and now playing song
• /history - Get full activity history
• /dash - Access web dashboard (only I can update statuses)

Kognise-only endpoints:

• /manual - Manually update status
• /manual/clear - Clear manual status
• /ping/:key - Signify activity for a device class
• /list/:key/:sourceDevice - Update browser tabs or running apps
• /zoom - Zoom webhook updates

Other

Compile StalkerMini (mobile app) to an APK with Gradle, I just used Android Studio.

Stalkerd (desktop daemon) needs a .password file to compile, which Rust embeds in the binary. Don't share the binary! I made this technical decision because I'm lazy.

The browser extension is quite cursed. If it doesn't work, you'll have to open the dev console; the error message should explain how to set the password.

Stalkerd is not cross-platform yet, only supports macOS.

Todo

• Some way to let me know if something is breaking on the backend
• Figure out why StalkerMini sometimes gets yeeted by the system
• Maybe switch to Spotify API for now playing
• Improve code quality (lmao as if)
