Thought I'd share a little side project I've been working on.

Omitme is a open-source, free CLI tool (& work-in-progress GUI) for managing your data on platforms like Discord & Reddit. It's built to be expandable & generic making it easy for Omitme to work on any platform.

Basically think of it as a SDK for defining data deletion on a platform. Omitme handles all the annoying stuff like account storage, building a CLI/GUI & sessions.

The core of Omitme is Seleniumwire used to grab login session tokens for platforms & HTTPX for making requests with those session tokens. Then you simply define you data deletion "targets" and the API calls to delete such data.

I'll be waiting for the GUI cuz i'm kinda stupid. How does it work if discord rate limits you btw? Are you able to modify the milliseconds of the deletion rate of messages?

Currently it delays if discord issues a rate limit.
