Post your ideas for CA things.

- A site that you put a pattern into and it checks several databases via a script of some sort, and sees if it finds an object, if it doesn't it reports 'may be new', if it does it tells you where it found said object.

That's part of what I'm trying to accomplish with the Catagolue browser extension, sorta-- though it's woefully incomplete and primitive right now. Patches welcome, of course!

I'm going to make an "Apply Details" script for Golly, which takes a pattern and then adds things like "Discovered by XXXXX, 31 February 2020" and uses some oscar to put things like "(19,1)c/20 spaceship in a non-totalistic rule." in the comments. Not sure how to do the comments part tho, maybe I'll just copy to clipboard.
