npm install ffmpeg works
#development
earnest phoenix
discordjs recommends this one i think https://www.npmjs.com/package/ffmpeg-binaries
quartz kindle
To use this library requires that ffmpeg is already installed (including all necessary encoding libraries like libmp3lame or libx264)

can anyone help me with my play command. when ever i play a song and it ends and try to play another song it says add to queue instead of playing the song can anyone help me?
heres the code:https://hastebin.com/egerexofez.js
shy rose
works rn for me
shy rose
it can break time to time with YT as noted in there package
earnest phoenix
I'd rather make my own player
quartz kindle
whats the problem rax?
tepid thorn
everyone used discord.js for their bot?
quartz kindle
im using discord.js yes
earnest phoenix
json is unreliable for such things
quartz kindle
depends on how you use it
earnest phoenix
I have jsonfile
quartz kindle
my bot uses json
shy rose
oh for that system should use a db
earnest phoenix
db?
earnest phoenix
if your money system is very simple u can use jsob
json*
oh yea
but i wouldn't recommend it
I have a db
but its a json db
inside the dir
shy rose
uh
earnest phoenix
¯_(ツ)_/¯
shy rose
you wot
shy rose
write locks
shy rose
db's are pretty easy to rig
shy rose
some hosting platforms even provide a lil weak one
quartz kindle
the trick with a json database is to limit i/o operations as much as possible, for example, when your bot starts, load the entire file into memory and keep it there and do transactions in memory. only save to json when you need to save new information, and even then if that happens many times, put it in a timer so it only does so every once in a while
earnest phoenix
the data isn't writing to the json file
quartz kindle
and always always keep json backups
earnest phoenix
show code?
ok
Are you using node
ignore the messiness
client.on('message', async message => {
const prefix = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/coins.json")[message.author.id]
if (message.content.startsWith("snipers beg")) {
let prefixNew = 400
try {
let res = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/coins.json");
res[message.guild.id] = prefixNew;
jsonfile.writeFileSync("memory/coins.json", res);
message.channel.send("Coins successfully changed!");
} catch (e) {
message.channel.send("An error has occured.")
}
}
if (message.content === "snipers coins") {
message.channel.send(jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/coins.json")[message.author.id])
}
}
);
also the money is set to 400 at the moment
what's jsonfile?
quartz kindle
see thats a bad practice right there
shy rose
jsonfile is a lil module that makes working with json ezy
earnest phoenix
is that a fs variable
oh
idk why its not writing
Well i havent heard of it before
quartz kindle
you're doing 4 disk operations in that code
earnest phoenix
I have the exact same thing for prefixes
quartz kindle
dont do that ever
quartz kindle
yes
shy rose
read file is a disk op
quartz kindle
do it like this
earnest phoenix
If your bot is small
Shouldn't hurt much
my bot is tiny
no i meab
How many servers use it
14
oof
are you running on localhost
no
vps
heady zinc
scale doesn't matter, you should always aim for the most performant code
earnest phoenix
hm
shy rose
best code now means less re factoring later
heady zinc
^
earnest phoenix
welp
idk how to do this database thing
I like me some good code but for small bots perfection is not rly needed
shy rose
like i jsut had to re write my entire bot due to lib having mem leaks
shy rose
they add up thou
earnest phoenix
yes
whats a good free database?
I'd recommend using fs to write to json
not whatever lib ur using
lol
heady zinc
yee that's the same way of thinking than "i don't need to prepare about sharding now, my bot is too small" but then when you need to do it you do twice the work you would have done if you had prepared for it right away
shy rose
mysql is best imo
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix do something like this (dont copy and paste, read to understand whats going on and why)
const coins = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/coins.json") //load file once
client.on('message', async message => {
let prefix = coins[prefix]
if (message.content.startsWith("snipers beg")) {
let prefixNew = 400
try {
coins[message.guild.id] = prefixNew;
save(coins);
message.channel.send("Coins successfully changed!");
} catch (e) {
message.channel.send("An error has occured.")
}
}
if (message.content === "snipers coins") {
message.channel.send(coins[message.author.id])
}
}
);
function save() {
code to save file only when you need to
}```ok
basically you load the json file once, change it and save it
ill look at it thoroughly
If u need help just say so 
quartz kindle
also, always make backups of json files, if you do anything wrong, you will lose everything because node will save an empty json if the json data has an error
earnest phoenix
so the save function would be part of what is in my current script?
I'm not an expert but i like to help
the saving part
Rip json
quartz kindle
yes, you can make a separate save function to write to disk, and call it only when the coins object is changed
this way the database is in memory, and the json file is only used for persistence, like a backup of the memory
earnest phoenix
so the json file will always be opened in memory basically
am i correct
and perform actions when needed
quartz kindle
not the file itself, but the contents of the file yes
earnest phoenix
shouldn't it be let prefix = coins[message.author.id]?
earnest phoenix
yea yea yea ik
also i have a quick question
how would i do a regexp for removing white spaces?
i can do a case insensitive regexp
but i want to remove whitespaces
quartz kindle
all whitespaces or only excessive white spaces?
earnest phoenix
all
earnest phoenix
nice, cuz I'm trying to do a mongodb query that searches for data and it's easier to make sone regexps for it
quartz kindle
but basically use the whitespace selector and the /g flag to target all instances
and replace all with nothing
earnest phoenix
Cool
const coins = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/coins.json")
client.on('message', async message => {
let prefix = coins[message.author.id]
if (message.content.startsWith("snipers beg")) {
let prefixNew = 400
try {
coins[message.guild.id] = prefixNew;
save(coins);
message.channel.send("Coins successfully changed!");
} catch (e) {
message.channel.send("An error has occured.")
}
}
if (message.content === "snipers coins") {
message.channel.send(coins[message.author.id])
}
}
);
function save() {
jsonfile.writeFileSync("memory/coins.json", coins);
}
this look any better?
quartz kindle
yeah, looks good
of wait
function save(coins)
else the coins inside the function will be undefined
earnest phoenix
ok
wait
so
function save(coins) {
jsonfile.writeFileSync("memory/coins.json", coins);
}
?
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
any error?
earnest phoenix
found
the problem I think
lemme see if its fixed
ayy
thanks guys
Good luck
now I just need to make it so that it sets the users coins to 0 if they don't have any data in the json file
else when they type snipers coins it doesn't send a message
wait
I think ik how
quartz kindle
alright, remember to be careful with your json files and always keep backups
i've had my fair share of my bot crashing and finding myself with empty json files
lmao
earnest phoenix
sucks xd
that's why databases are safer for these tasks
if something goes wrong at least the entire table won't be erased
Lol
so I just save the file like once a day?
or auto backups?
quartz kindle
yeah, i'll switch to a real db eventually, but for now json is fine. i made a function to save a backup copy and to load from the copy in case the json breaks
earnest phoenix
cool
you can set your bot to auto back it up i believe
yes
then if it detects all the data changing to 0 or something then it will stop backing up
idk
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You mean when it crashes
yea
oof
if it does crash your data may be gone
I'm stuck
That's the risk
quartz kindle
if the json is empty, the json loading function should return an error
because even an empty json needs to contain {} to be compatible with json
and a broken json doesnt
quartz kindle
xD
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
ok
quartz kindle
math functions are with capital M
quartz kindle
Math.random()
quartz kindle
quartz kindle
js is awesome because you can literally press F12 in any browser and test js code directly in the console
Math.Random always returns a number between 0 and 1
earnest phoenix
oh
how do I get between22 and 30 fro m random between 0 and 1
so I need to then times it?
quartz kindle
yes
quartz kindle
Tom trying to end the world
earnest phoenix
tru
it gave infinity XD
how do i return a number smaller than 1 but bigger than 2 using js
Math.random(0,1) * 100
seems to work
quartz kindle
no need for the 0,1
earnest phoenix
ok
quartz kindle
smaller than 1 but bigger than 2?
quartz kindle
lmao
earnest phoenix
It was a joke
so I don't have those nasty numbers
nodemon is pretty useful tho
Finally decided to install it
quartz kindle
you can use parseInt() to remove decimals
or toFixed(), but toFixed turns it into a string
quartz kindle
yeah a string of numbers
most math functions will work on strings, except +
"10" - "5" = 5
"10" + "5" = "105"
xD
earnest phoenix
where do I put parseInt()?
also i need some "help" with async
when i'm sending the message?
thats cos - will coerce types
quartz kindle
parseInt(number)
quartz kindle
^
earnest phoenix
let number = Math.random() * 100
let prefixNew = parseInt(number)
?
that?
no need to parse it
quartz kindle
thats a trick people use to convert strings to numbers, they do something like string*1 because its shorter than Number() or parseInt()
quartz kindle
not really lmao
quartz kindle
send it away
earnest phoenix
k
if u wanna remove decimals use bitwise operators
fastest method
or math.floor
parseint is terrible
var init = async () => {
var app = new hapi.Server()
app.connection({
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3000
})
await app.start()
mongoose.connect(url, {
"useNewUrlParser": true
})
dbo = mongoose.connection
loadRoutes(app)
}
init()```its working
but yeah
im new to async
quartz kindle
hey if it works it works
earnest phoenix
ik this is easy to do
but my brain isn't working rn
its not adding the coins on
just changing the coins
quartz kindle
and yeah, Tom is right, Math.floor/round/ceil are much faster than parseInt
earnest phoenix
I need help
quartz kindle
i forgot about those for a moment
earnest phoenix
send code
my brain isn't working
ik this is really easy
but my brain is being stupid af
ik why this is happening
I just dk how to fix it
quartz kindle
from your previous code let prefixNew = 400 will always replace the value
earnest phoenix
function save(coins) {
jsonfile.writeFileSync("memory/coins.json", coins);
}
``` is changing the coins, not adding onah
you're updating the values to 400, not adding 400
i think
yes
but I don't remember how to add the values together
you'd have to do coins + 400 or smth
quartz kindle
+=
earnest phoenix
and save it
yeah +=
no
my script is different now
const coins = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/coins.json")
client.on('message', async message => {
const currentprefix = jsonfile.readFileSync("memory/prefix.json")[message.guild.id]
let prefix = coins[message.author.id]
if (message.content.startsWith(currentprefix + "beg")) {
let number = Math.random() * 100
let prefixNew = parseInt(number)
try {
coins[message.author.id] = prefixNew;
save(coins);
message.channel.send("Here, have " + prefixNew + " coins!");
} catch (e) {
message.channel.send("An error has occured.")
}
}
if (message.content === currentprefix + "coins") {
message.channel.send('You have ' + (coins[message.author.id]) + ' coins (If it says undefined it means you have no coins)')
}
}
);
function save(coins) {
jsonfile.writeFileSync("memory/coins.json", coins);
}
idk what part to change
well
quartz kindle
coins[message.author.id] = value
quartz kindle
coins[message.author.id] = prefixNew; // replaces value with new value
quartz kindle
lmao
earnest phoenix
read the file once when you load the bot, and save it whnev you need. dont read the file every time pls
ignore that lol
quartz kindle
anyway
earnest phoenix
im still confused
quartz kindle
what you want is coins[message.author.id] = prefix + prefixNew;
earnest phoenix
ok
quartz kindle
you get the old value, and save it while adding the new value to it
quartz kindle
or if you want to make it more readable:
let final = prefix + prefixNew;
coins[message.author.id] = final;
or something like that
quartz kindle
go slep
quartz kindle
actually, its 1am here, i need sleep
go figure it on your own lmao
you can do it
earnest phoenix
just eat some snickers
and youre good to go
you'll be typing js so fast and so well
THIS
ISN'T WORKING
Just use a database..
It's much easier
but thats not the problem
its the adding system
if you use a database none of that'll be a problem
It's super easy to increment integers
So making a money system is a piece of cake
You can make your own in like what 2 hours
Without having to worry about it ever again pretty much
but I wanna get this right
😄
I got it working
nice!

I can't get the bot to check if a member has a role on another guild. The bot is on both servers.
Here is the code I wrote
var accepted = false
const checkguild = client.guilds.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
const acceptedRole = checkguild.roles.get("id-hidden-is-correct");
if(message.member.roles.has(acceptedRole)){
accepted = true
message.channel.send("Accepted!").catch(error => console.log);
} else if(!message.member.roles.has(acceptedRole)){
accepted = false
message.channel.send("Denied!").catch(error => console.log);
};```I am really confused
It says Denied, even if you have the role every time
The command should check the author, no args or mentions for other users

Does anyone know how to build a url for an image stored on the server the bot is hosted on? im trying to create an embed (with discordjs) that has a thumbnail, but its asking for a url.. a filepath doesn't work
earnest phoenix
// Send an embed with a local image inside
channel.send('This is an embed', {
embed: {
thumbnail: {
url: 'attachment://file.jpg'
}
},
files: [{
attachment: 'entire/path/to/file.jpg',
name: 'file.jpg'
}]
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
from https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/TextChannel?scrollTo=send
literally in the examples
wild tide
upload your image to a file website, you can make one your own pretty easy. Just upload your image there and use the url
jovial sigil
i tried the above example but it just spits out the image outside of the embed instead of inside
file website as in tinypic, etc?
i have about 500 images
wild tide
yes

wouldn't be fun
wild tide
try Google Drive or something

then just rightclick the image, and click "Copy Image Address"

to change my bots username would i need to send a patch request?
or does the lib cover it?
djs does that so should eris
deep inlet
I think there's a function for it, but I think the new Discord Dev Portal allows renaming there
earnest phoenix
since?
you can rename your bot from the dev apps dite

oh
I've tried it but it didn't update it
I couldn't before
deep inlet
That was for the old page
earnest phoenix
how did i not notice that
deep inlet
The new Dev Portal allows it

Not the actual username
ruby dust
the updated developer portal now has a way to update both application and bot names
deep inlet

Because it is
earnest phoenix
hm

It's kinda hard to explain, you need to use both libs to see the dif
earnest phoenix
just use what fits you the best
I just noticed discord js is more beginner friendly
deep inlet
I converted introduced it to 2 of my friends and they love it
Here's an advantage: DJS doesn't help you get better at JS
Eris does

@deep inlet just because noobs use djs that doesn't mean you shouldn't?

you mean a image api?
Yes. But NSFW Images

¯_(ツ)_/¯
@deep inlet Im getting errors 😦

if i do msg.guild

oh
let me add that

I dont think i can share them here
Why cant you?
umm

Idk why people even have specifically pornographic bots on Discord

they get quite popular
There ya go

Do you really need one?
I want one yes

Maybe if you search it on your school computer you'll get better results

Makes sense
deep inlet
Eris, why?
earnest phoenix
just wondering
@earnest phoenix djs nsfw api??
lol
Yes
You mean a nsfw rest api
not djs
idk 😂
But I do
google it
sure you do
discord.js doesn't have nsfw apis
Beefy im just wondering but what category of images?
Djs only connects to discord api
k
and if his isp blocks nsfw he has to use a proxy
and i thought my isp was shit, what kind of isp blocks porn
...
All my isp blocks is piratebay and its proxies
Sky Broadband apparently 😂
that's in the usa correct

deep inlet
Who is your ISP, Nao?
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix same timezone lol, but rip eu
mine?
mets i gtg its quite late
earnest phoenix
NOS, @deep inlet

Okay, what the hell do I search on Google to get the API thing? I searched up NSFW rest api and idk what it all is 😂
it's the biggest provider here
deep inlet
Verizon ftw baybeeeee
earnest phoenix
i live in portugal, you know that small ass country that everyone thinks belongs to spain
Lmao
All our isps only block sites like piratebay really
I've never heard of an isp blocking porn sites lol
Sky Shield is the server that protects it
You can always pay for a vpn
I think the best thing to do is go to Google Images and search up porn gifs... I can seem to find the thing im looking for
Rofl
You're trying to make an nsfw command for your bot or something?
Yes
an NSFW Module
Hm
Do you mean a node module
I want something, that is simple, that would post NSFW Images whenever a command is used.
Thats all I want
Do you know how to make http requests
blazing gorge
??
earnest phoenix
there's no nsfw modules for node
Using the request module?
yes
For example
Think ill figure it out
It's easy
I have the yo momma command using a request api thingy
You can try making requests to reddit
bet they have a bunch of nsfw there
hmm
How do NSFW Bot and BoobBot Get theirs then?
I don't know those bots
But usually the way these commands work is that they make http requests to a website
And return the data, then send it as message
ok
do you have programming experience?
Not a lot but quite a bit
If you don't then this stuff will be confusing
I mean you were asking for nodejs nsfw modules
Lol
lol
I managed to find porn images on tumblr, can I do anything with that?
@earnest phoenix
that's a library for nodejs which allows you to interact with the tumblr api
ok
should be easier than making http requests through Request
As i said if you're new to coding then this'll be confusing
Meh, Ill see if I can grab some gifs images etc off google images and make a huge collection of them 😂
Then post a random one on command
if you have the space and are willing to save that stuff on your drive
then sure
lol
Would it be worth it though?
you said you wanted a nsfw command, that's the easiest way to make one
Okay lol
but you have to save the pics somewhere and have access to them
Ill just put their links in a .json file and name them from 1 to however many I have.
I could also simply steal some from other bots 😂

If you're building a discord bot then it doesn't matter much

client.user.setActivity(`you type`, {type: "WATCHING"})

you don't

:^)
cinder patio
so a question for those who use other libs than discord.js: Do you have to "shard" your bot?
upper ember
yes
you should create shard.js file
and write in it "PLEASE SHARD MY BOT :^)"
and type node shard.js
cinder patio
I'm not asking how, just asking if other libs have a shard feature
upper ember
of course...
ruby dust
it's a discord limitation that you have to shard your bot if it gets involved in too many servers
"too many" means a single shard can handle up to 2.5k servers
but of course you can shard earlier than that limit if your bot is losing performance
earnest phoenix
does anyone know why this is happening
frail harness
because linters arent very smart
warm prairie
If I want to mention someone to the bot, how can I get the entire mention? right now it comes in as a string with just the '@' and either the username or nickname
split lantern
@warm prairie in d.js u can send the user obj or
<@userid> works everywhere
@warm prairie
Copy paste that
Will @ u
@warm prairie
warm prairie
thats the thing, its coming to the bot as just "@earnest phoenix"
woops
@someone
oh wait
maybe its because i'm using cleanContent
split lantern
yeah if you are using user inout and use cleanContent then yeah
warm prairie
yep, thats it. neverminddd 😃
earnest phoenix
can anyone her help me do the vote to access command?
earnest phoenix
Hi
I am going to end my Discord Bot project. The bot is in over 1k servers, I want the bot to leave all 1000+ servers. How do I do this?
Delete the bot on the discordapp.com website
Why anyway?
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix will u be able to recover it after?
No
I don't want it to be recoverable
Ok
earnest phoenix
Ill claim your bot 😂
blazing gorge
No
quartz kindle
you're getting rid of a bot thats in 1k servers?
why not passing it on or even selling it?
warm prairie
w/ discord.js it seems like some promises are actionable, and some aren't. Has anyone else noticed this?
heady zinc
wdym actionable
warm prairie
for example
// this works
guild.members.get(member).addRole(role).then(() => { /* do something */});
// this doesn't
guild.roles.get(id).delete().then(() => { /* do something */});
i want to see a neural network api for discord
warm prairie
latest
heady zinc
latest stable or latest master?
earnest phoenix
Lol neural network for discord
warm prairie
^11.3.2
earnest phoenix
best ideas
warm prairie
Well I have an async message being sent if the promise goes through, on the addRole the message goes to the server, on the delete the message doesn't
warm prairie
yep
earnest phoenix
Something's not working with this code, and i know im being stupid here. Can i get some advice?
warm prairie
I am catching them too, on the catch on all the promises I only seem to be able to use console.log()
earnest phoenix
My bot just crashes
night imp
No error?
night imp
Console.log each line to see where it fails
earnest phoenix
Wha?
night imp
See where it fails
earnest phoenix
Each line?
night imp
Of the selected code that is broken
earnest phoenix
How?
night imp
console.log("part 1 works")
earnest phoenix
Ah oki
night imp
Should help with debugging
earnest phoenix
Alright and ill just do node not pm2 right?
warm prairie
when-in-doubt console log it out
earnest phoenix
Ye
heady zinc
pm2 start <path_to_app> --name="name" && pm2 logs name
earnest phoenix
Uggh i just hate doing that and getting the first 15 lines
heady zinc
it gives you a stream
warm prairie
you don't have to use pm2 for local testing
heady zinc
and the first 15 precedent lines if you don't specify the --lines option
warm prairie
I would only locally use pm2 for things I don't need to constantly watch
earnest phoenix
Ik i just do everything in a cloud ide sincei have many local computers and i dont always have access to all of them
And that ide is directly hooked up to my vps
warm prairie
thats what github / bitbucket is for
earnest phoenix
And thats what parents Are for... to tell you to GET OFF RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!
warm prairie
can't help ya there
earnest phoenix
in other words, github/bitbucket take too long
magic bane
Take too long? :0 I have all my bot code hosted on GitHub
earnest phoenix
oki. i give up. i guess i just have very different preferences than everybody on every discord server i go to.
warm prairie
¯_(ツ)_/¯
pale bison
some of the images won't load for me on this page https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Tutorials/blob/tutorials/Tutorials/Java/Getting started with JDA.md
blazing gorge
?
pale bison
im trying to say that some images load and some don't
warm prairie
not for me either
cunning orchid
@earnest phoenix What's the issue you're having with the command?
earnest phoenix
here:
this is what i have:
snekfetch.get(`https://discordbots.org/api/bots?limit=1&search=username:${args.join('+')}`).then(res => {
if (res.count != 1) return msg.channel.send(`Couldn't find a bot that matched the query \`${args.join(' ')}\``)
return msg.channel.send(`https://discordbots.org/api/widget/${res.results[0].id}.svg`)
})
cuz search param can contain many fields
blazing gorge
;-;
earnest phoenix
@cunning orchid
cunning orchid
I think that the best way to do it is to just pick one field to search by
have the command always search by username or by description or whathaveyou
sick cloud
you know snekfetch has .query
earnest phoenix
i did. i picked one field i just limited it to one result
sick cloud
const { body } = await snekfetch.get(`https://discordbots.org/api/bots`).query({ limit: 1, search: `username:${args.join(' ')}` });
peak chasm
do i need to put my bots code on github to become certified?
sick cloud
@peak chasm, no.
earnest phoenix
lol no
cunning orchid
peak chasm
just asked because of
Original code, not a fork of a bot with a new name.
thought u guys would want to check the code
earnest phoenix
Why does this look really strange on mobile discord
Admin's rgb has been turned on 🎄
It is embbeded as a title and it is blue on mobile and the 🎄 part just comes out as text
sick cloud
@earnest phoenix, not a question for development, but it's because mobile emojis and UI are different.
unkempt ocean
I think I fixed it
jade tulip
How do i add commands, This is my first time doing this....
jade tulip
I know how to code .-.
earnest phoenix
lul then knock urself out
sick cloud
Then learn the lib your using properly.
jade tulip
Gg
warm prairie
isn't snekfetch deprecated?
earnest phoenix
no. D.js even uses it
earnest phoenix
I use Request for sending http requests
@sick cloud what i do not understand is that bots like saftey jim doesnt have it being blue
sick cloud
They use the author field probably, the title field is always blue on mobile (android at least iirc).
ruby dust
can more than one running program have a separate connection to the same database file? I'm using sqlite3, to be exact
peak chasm
sorry one more question regarding the certification. does the bot have to be part of the list for more than 3 days or me?
pale bison
is there anyway somebody can fix this so that the images load? https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Tutorials/blob/tutorials/Tutorials/Java/Getting started with JDA.md
sick cloud
I mean, that's kind of common sense to be here for a little while, but I don't think it's a requirement @peak chasm.

Hello everyone I need some help on dispatcher
data.dispatcher.once('end', function() {
finish(client, ops, this);
when music ends it stops
don't plays next song
I changed finish to end
didn't work too
sick cloud
@pale bison, submit a GitHub issue if you think it's an actual issue.
pale bison
ok
earnest phoenix
@sick cloud i dont think it is author as it is the same colour and size as a title which is smaller and not bold
sick cloud
@earnest phoenix, dunno then.
earnest phoenix
@proper forum do you think you could help?
proper forum
Hello, help about what?
blazing gorge
Sup
earnest phoenix
Your bot saftey jim doesnt have blue text for the writing on mobile how did you do that?
