Memes need to be catalogued in a way so that look-ups succeed more often for all generators. This means a list of alternative names for each meme, an Imgflip ID and a file name of the local template. Probably a simple XML file or something.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cisscriber.py", line 209, in <module>
    main()
  File "cisscriber.py", line 54, in main
    if not already_replied(comment):
  File "cisscriber.py", line 158, in already_replied
    replied = open('.replied', 'r')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.replied'

Should probably be fixed eventually, workaround by touch .replied.

Too many dependencies, put in a container? Docker?

APIMeme is probably not powerful enough.

This should be considered solved when support has been added for:

• APIMeme
• Imgflip
• Meme Captain

Additionally, it would be possible to add support for:

• Meme Generator

However, since the API is functioning poorly and the support doesn't answer, it will probably be skipped for now.

Bot should probably post all link all images after one another instead of just choosing one as is now. Absorbs #3.

Meme lookup fails most of the time. While memes.xml is structured nicely (since #5), it needs more data for the lookup to work well. The file currently contains many typos that should either be corrected or complemented with the correct spellings.

This requires some manual work and may never be done.

APIMeme lookup tries only the name parsed from /u/imgurtranscriber, without trying the alternative names found in memes.xml. It should do that when the parsed name fails.

As evident in this post, an ampersand character (&) in the transcription caused it and its following characters not to be cisscribed.

Probably store comment IDs in a textfile and check it.

Needed for use since a certain date.
