Rework /help command about odin-bot-v2 HOT 7 OPEN

Thank you @Mclilzee! This was a good call-out.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was looking for a maintainer's approval for a go-ahead.

Hi @JustWaveThings

This is a great idea. I've assigned it to you. We already spoke about some ideas in discord and probably you have some thoughts of your own about it. Curious to see your ideas and what you decide on!

We can discuss the changes further on the PR if/as needed.

This is a great idea, it's what I initially had in mind, our commands have been growing in numbers, and we need to start using sub commands more to keep it concise without adding too many related commands into the API.

Maybe look at our current commands and see what are available, that can be potential candidate to the subcommands of help too. For example, the command /data could be a potential candidate for /help asking-questions or /help questions

I am looking to contribute to the bot and am willing to mock something up for an improved /help command, based on the ideas above.

Would that be ok?

@JustWaveThings I believe that your question was for maintainers, but in case it was aimed at me, then of course yes, that would be a great idea, and thank you for wanting to take this on.

Crossposting this from Discord.

So initial thoughts after some poking around.

I think the help command could emulate the points command in structure. /help would bring up all the help options like /points does:

Making the help command like this would give it much more flexibility to include what the asker wants without having a large embed trying to cover all the bases.

To do this, I would emulate most of what is in points.service.js

I am going to wait for feedback though before going down this route.

I am going to cross-post this to the issue in the bot repo.

Open to thoughts/suggestions/things to watch out for, as always!

Just so it doesn't get lost, I've opened a PR that's ready for some more feedback in #450.
