The Thanker - a Mac app to generate random "thank you" messages

A simple Mac app made in Automator.  Click it to copy a random "thank you" message to your clipboard!  Using this app, you can thank people without getting annoyed by the "duplicate comment" filter!

This was made with the intention of making it easier to post "thank you" comments on your own projects, not spamming said comments on others' projects.  Please respect the Community Guidelines.

Download!

Sample messages:
Thank you.      big_smile
_meow_ Thank you!      smile
Thanks!    big_smile
_meow_ Thank you.         smile
Thanks.      big_smile

It operates on the comment quirk that removes the excess spaces from a comment, yet does not consider comments with different numbers of spaces to be duplicates.  (I'm not sure if this only works on certain computers or browsers.)

If you use it, let me know if it works for you  smile

Re: The Thanker - a Mac app to generate random "thank you" messages

Sweet, It's a great idea.

However, the Scratch Team has recently modified their code so that you can say similar messages over and over again on your own projects only, so this isn't much of an issue.  big_smile

That's interesting! It could be useful, now just need to find a use for it  tongue

I was experimenting with Applescript, and made an application as well  smile

Should I make one for Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows? 'Cause when using those operating systems your app is unusable  sad

But he can still port it to work on other things.
Just make it do the same thing in some better language.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
