vibez-homie (slack app and bot)

#vibez @vibez-homie

here's how it works

• user interaction / feedback loop

  • one may (MUST) include link to song or image that further describe how one feels
  • the threaded comments on root posts
    • are for discussion of the root post that they're threaded to
    • are to be moderated with care and respect for the root poster's feelings
  • generally:
    • remove all non-conformant root posts
    • listen for root post adds and deletes
    • write to airtable for a user's posts
    • maybe pre-generate radar charts
    • FIXME: ?_? more to come here

• a bot will privately post an image that tracks your feelings over time as you make root posts

  • this will be posted in the thread of your root post, but only you may see it
  • if you so desire, you may click a button to replace the private bot reply with a bot reply that everyone can see
    • a radar chart (like from the gameboy advance pokemon games)

• a bot will be available to query your vibes within #vibez

  • one may delete their vibes history selectively or wipe the entire history for their user
  • one may NOT edit their vibes

• ideas for slash commads

  • /vibez radar
  • /vibez radar-all
  • /help
  • /?

todo

• welcome message to new users
• help command for the bot
• user interaction loop
• store vibez data properly in airtable
• generate radar charts for users as we go or on demand
• show radar chart on demand and when user posts
• show radar chart for the entire channel's previous time period (24hr?)

• @sampoder wants to do a scrapbook integration.. one can already share posts to scrapbook. maybe an ephemeral message should do that for your radar chart?
