Lane's Link Generator

Post by Lane » Thu Jul 18, 2024 5:38 pm

Web App (easiest)


As you may have heard, I have created a link generator for our use.

Still in a BETA release state.

Download the zip below, unzip to your PC, open the .exe file within the folder called link_generator. From there a window should open up that allows you to input text. You can type directly there, or copy/paste from the word processor of your choice. You can input an entire team news, and it will return the entire text to you, just with links added. Or, with links and ratings added, should you select those options.

Try it out! Have fun! Put links in your TN's and let me know if you have questions, need help, or have suggestions on how to make this better.

Note: Name input is Case Sensitive
