I won't rest until I can order Uber Eats from Emacs

legit sounds like a cool project to try out. How is your Elisp? mine is shitty at best :V

Gives new meaning to the term "spaghetti code"

@AleCx04 I'm the author of some packages and help here and there with emacs-tree-sitter project, but I wasn't that serious in my post :u

@bittersweet didn't you programm dominos pizza api or a similar thing?

@catholic-emacs that is fucking sweet man! I have the official Gnu Emacs Lisp book but I skimmed over it and learned just enough to understand my configs on Emacs, not good enough to create or help out with much. Any recommendations to get better besides fucking around with code?

@heyheni Haha a long time ago, on the supplier side — meaning I made the API for Dominos, not the API client.

I believe Uber Eats only has an API for the restaurants, not for consumers... So you'd have to do some simulated crawling and clicking I guess?

@AleCx04 in my experience, fucking around with code is your best bet (as long as you have a itch to scratch)

@bittersweet
On a personal note, fuck your front end/design team. If I have one more fucking customer send me a picture of the pizza tracker and ask to recreate it for non-sequential processes, I'm going to lose it 😆

@SortOfTested I don't work for Dominos though, was just hired as a freelancer back then 😝

Somewhere early 2010s they wanted an experimental API for large consumers (hospitals, conference centers, multinational offices, student organizations, etc) here in Europe, which included features such as recurrent scheduling/pre-ordering and splitting orders over multiple franchises to deal with large orders.

I made it kind of public, and individual (presumably nerdy) customers used it quite a bit as well.

They completely ruined my adapter to their order system though, the routes eventually went dead — apparently because they replaced it with the API from takeaway.com, which is only open for large b2b customers.

If only there was a law that made sexy, well structured open APIs mandatory for every online service...

You're doing God's work my friend

Nah but like definitely make this.

@Stuxnet i am already looking into it cuz it sounds like a ridiculous idea, yet a very good one. Sadly my lisp fu is way tf better on Clojure and Scheme than it is on Elisp. It ain't like I don't have time to try tho

next project will be to book a hotel/room from booking.com and airbnb
