A simple yet awesome Bluesky bot to track the progress of the year!

Chronodate is a fun bot that posts the current year's progress every single day. Something like:
2024 is 87,2% complete.

That's it for now! But I'm already planning some cool updates:
- Memory features: Let the bot "remember" and reference past posts or interactions.
- Advanced interactions: Think reminders or custom responses!
- A basic website: Because why not? Every bot deserves a home.
For now, I'm just happy to share this project with the world.
Honestly, this is an act of good faith. I believe in sharing fun, creative ideas with the community, and Chronodate felt like the perfect project to start with.
If you're curious or want to contribute, you're more than welcome to jump in!
