This is a small nodejs based app that manages public submissions of short news items that then gets published using a mailchimp campaign. An example of this is AACNews Monthly, managed by the Ace Centre.
the bot grabs the title, the author from slack and the date as today - and grabs the first say 200 words found on the URL to add directly to /api/posts
or slightly longer:
/aacinfo some-url, title, description, author (or combination there of)
Other idea... Right click on a post and "Send to AACInfo" and pop up this: https://api.slack.com/dialogs with items from aacinfo.email/posts - but prepopulated with URL, Title and any text it can find in post
Would like a slack bot (more info here: https://scotch.io/tutorials/building-a-slack-bot-with-node-js-and-chuck-norris-super-powers)
e.g.
/aacinfo some-url
the bot grabs the title, the author from slack and the date as today - and grabs the first say 200 words found on the URL to add directly to /api/posts
