I’ve been ignoring AI out of a sheer tiredness of hearing it from every corner of the web / tv / etc.

But damn it if it hasn’t been helpful in me making updates and new features to my website.

Due to not having much free time at the moment, or for the foreseeable future, it’s nigh on impossible to really sit and focus on learning something for extended periods of time.

But with using an AI assistant for the specific issues each step of the way, it’s helped both with getting it done, and my understanding it easier – especially when a lot of my personal coding is done whilst I’m cooking dinner of an evening.

My specific build has been a new plugin for my WordPress website; one that automatically imports my scrobbles from last fm – an itch I’ve been wanting to scratch for a long time.

Even though the WordPress ecosystem is about as stable as the dimensions in Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart right now, I do still self host my website on it.

I’ve been working on a lastfm scrobbles importer with time permitting over the past month.

Its currently in Alpha testing and is importing both the older scrobbles from the past ten years up to currently listening to.

It’ll be nice to be able to have the option to scrobble directly to my site in the future. Until now this will do me.

I will release it in Beta as soon as the admin area pages are tidied up.

Making decent progress with my lastfm scrobbles importer plugin for WordPress. Importing (new and backdating) is working.

Just need to tidy up the admin display and sort out the displaying in templates.

It’s been years since I worked on WP plugins so it’s taking some time along with my screaming tot.

I’m working on a WordPress plugin to import scrobbles from Last fm and display on your website.

It’ll work like the traktivity plugin that imports and displays trakt watches for TV shows and films.

It’s an itch I want to scratch but hopefully could be helpful to others out there.
