Doesn't handle putting any links #tags or handles in the text - just plain text only at moment
Commentary on whats going on
You edit inject node with text you want to post, the bksy.social handle - cymplecy.bsky.social in my case and an app password (as explained in 1st post)
It then sends a http request off that returns some values that are needed to do the real post.
I then add in the time and the other variable values needed and make a 2nd http request (to a different endpoint) that does the actual post
A lot of the information I used to find this out came from here
[edit]19Nov 2024
If you want to include mentions of other accounts and #tags - there's another level of complexity to goto -I've done it manually but now trying to do it within the flow!
