HuskyBot Wishlist #10

Open dziban303 opened 4 years ago

dziban303 commented 4 years ago

At Kaz's suggestion I'm opening an issue regarding adding RSS capability to HuskyBot. And since I'm doing that, I may as well enumerate some other feature requests. Items presented in no particular order, just skimming the stream of consciousness.

  1. RSS – Feature would ideally periodically check RSS sources for new content and then post what's found to a designated channel. At least fifteen sources would be required for NHC products, more would be handy for blog posts we monitor through IFTTT and Zapier.

  2. Twitter – New tweets from selected accounts posted in specified channels.

  3. Reddit – Links to new threads posted to subreddits would be placed in designated channels.

What's the highest reasonable delay between a post being made and Husky forwarding it to you? In other words, what's the longest reasonable time you can wait between the bot checking for new entries?

Maybe 10 minutes?

The RSS bot seems to be working pretty well. Consequently, huskybot rss integration isn't a prioty 'want' anymore.

I did come up with another "would be nice" feature though: definition lookups. Based on the decronym bot idea, I've got a json file of acronyms for use by the IRC bot to provide definitions of initialisms. This would be a pretty useful feature given the surfeit of FLA/TLAs found in meteorology:
