## Installation

You need your input text in plain text; [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org) is a good source for that. Make sure to remove all parts of the text that are not to be used as the bot's corpus.
You will also need an access token, so register your app at a mastodon instance of choice to get one.

Building an running the Clojure code requires [babashka](https://babashka.org/), version 1.3 is tested and should work.

## Usage

```
$ bb -m heyarne.frantisek-kafka.samsa --interval=5 --order=3 resources/kafka-en.txt
