原文外掛簡介
Adopt a small virtual companion that lives in your WordPress admin. Right now Buddy just exists — they bob, they blink, they show their mood. As the plugin grows, their stats will come to reflect how well you take care of your WordPress site itself: published posts feed them, outdated plugins make them sick, clearing spam makes them happy.
Gamifies WordPress maintenance with a bit of charm.
What it does today
Dashboard widget shows your Buddy with name, mood, and four stat bars (hunger, happiness, health, energy).
Dedicated Buddy admin page for the bigger view, with the same character and stats.
Settings page where you can rename your Buddy.
Each WP admin user gets their own Buddy stored per-user in user_meta. Nothing leaves your site database.
About page explaining the plugin and the roadmap.
What it does not do yet
No interactions — feed, play, clean, sleep are coming in Phase B.
No time-based stat decay yet — that is Phase C.
Only one species available right now — Phase D will add a dog, dragon, sprite, and more.
The headline feature — having Buddy stats reflect your actual WP site health (post counts, outdated plugins, spam queue) — is Phase E.
Privacy
RangerHQ Buddy stores its data per-user in the WordPress user_meta table on your own site. No data is sent anywhere. No telemetry. No third-party JavaScript. No external services are contacted except the update checker, which queries the public Gitea release endpoint at git.davidtkeane.com to see if a new version is available.
