Perhaps automate the posting of some stuff to the GSU subreddit?

Why? Because it would help the community and it seems people are willing to help

As per the rules of council:

council-of-ph:

To post –

• Things that affect other committees, especially finalized information.
• Discussion (or something that is meant to spark discussion) that is informative and helpful for committee functions or things that affect PH as a whole.

Not to post –

• Shitposts, one-liner questions, or information that does not only apply to council members
• Snarky, aggressive, or pointed comments
• Replies to topics outside of threads. Keep discussion in the related thread.

Guidelines for posts –

• Avoid multi-comment messages. You can refrain from pressing the enter key for a few seconds while you finish your writeup. If it is urgent enough to require multiple messages it is likely already something being discussed and should instead go in the related thread, or it can be posted elsewhere. Inside your comment’s threads you can talk how you like.
• Be as detailed as possible if you’re describing an issue that needs discussion. The more context the better. If something has reached a conclusion, follow up with a second comment describing the outcome.

The recent experience with PantherBot in council has taught a lesson. For all PantherBot functions allowed in council, please follow these rules from now on.

Description

Send messages to users the next time they speak

Command

!ambush < user >: < message >

Thoughts?

Likely need to have a separate script running in tandem or a thread that is in charge of handling timed events, such as continuous reminders or channel posts.

Whenever a user has a message beginning with $('$10 ought to do it', '$$$ Money!'), PantherBot takes the rest of the line as an admin call which will triggers this erroneous message

It seems you aren't authorized to use admin commands. If you believe this a mistake, contact the maintainer(s) of PantherBot

Solution

Mimick the solution for the similar ! solution. Check to see if the line is long and if the next few tokens aren't $

When I edit a message, I get this error

See pugbomb.py... Sad day it is.

Pugbomb should cache images and thus avoid making a call reddit api each time it is called

Cutebomb that pulls data from /r/aww or /r/puppies or something!

All messages issued at 4:20pm should be emoji'd with all flavors of tree 🌳 🎄 🌴 🌲 🎋

Get stock information by stock acronym

Maybe get the info for the past day, month, 3 months, year, etc.

!stock <acronym> <timespan>

Example:

!stock GOOGL 1m
!stock GE 1d
!stock TSLA 3m

Would you guys @mhijazi1 @braxton-mclean @arshbot be for something like this? It'd be good just so when people submit a PR they get some immediate feedback on code rather than having to wait for you guys to review.

Maybe not this one specifically but something to this effect.

• Move latest branch to heroku deploy
• Move Master branch to heroku deploy
• (Bonus) Auto incriment version on each heroku deploy

Create a command that updates the env variable WELCOME_MESSAGE to store a welcome message that will be sent whenever a new user joins. Currently this feature exists but draws from a .txt file. We need to change it to draw from an env variable and have the capability to update the WELCOME_MESSAGE

Get Crypto information acronym for time span

!crypto <acronym> <timespan>

!github

You can add commands to return things like branch names, last contributions, number of forks, number of stars, issues, PRs, etc.

Thoughts?

The main reason pbot was python 2 was due to an incompatibility with the slackclient package. This has been resolved, convert to python 3.

This blocks all future dev work and should be done first.

Feature: allow aliases to be created for commands

For example...

@arshbot : Mo disagrees stating that it does not allow the code to be readable (pb structure demands that the name of a script dictates the command name) and instead wants the file to be generate_report.py which means the command name would be generate_report

It would be nice if "generate_report" could be the script name (and the original command name) and then an alias for power users to use, say, "g_r" or "gr" could be dynamically created to point to generate_report.

Description

Another function !marta where you can ask for the next trains coming to a station.

Usage

!marta <train_station> <south|north|east|west>

Response

The response could look somewhat like this (this is what our bot at work says)

Currently, setting up a poll requires a lot of messages in the channel where the poll is created. This is problematic because it sends users useless notifications and clutters up the channel history.

One solution would be to have poll creators interact with PantherBot via PM and then PantherBot could post only the finalized poll message to the channel.

The welcome message when a member joins returns 'true' for some reason via slackbot. This needs to return the contents of a specific file. @braxton-mclean knows more about where to pull the contents from.

!pugbomb 0 and !pugbomb -1 currently work, returning no pugs, but still setting off the timer. Is this expected behavior?

Description

Roll dice of your choosing

Commands

!dice - Roll x number of six sided
!dice Roll x number of y sided dice

Thoughts?

Since Slack does not give us a way to retroactively see member join dates, it would be beneficial to keep a small logging that we can check up on.

Currently all creds are pulled from env variables/files on the instance running pantherbot. This should be changed. Pantherbot should only need to pull one set of creds for the DB, connect to the db, and pull all creds needed from there.

• Create DB table
• Load Creds into DB (This needs to be done by an admin)
• Pull Necessary Creds from DB
• Have DB creds pulled from env variable
• Set DB cred env variable in aws (this needs to be done by @mhijazi1)

Use .env file rather than having to directly edit one's own system environment variables
