Example BOT requires botkit studio registration #2

Open Sing-Li opened 6 years ago

Sing-Li commented 6 years ago

The current sample DEFAULT bot requires a botkit studio registration key to operate.

We should consider replacing the bot with something that does not require this additional step (debatable if / when botkit guys join this project; perhaps not for the starter-kit but definitely for the npm-module)

I think that's the main operating mode for botkit @Sing-Li, they asks for a token to be used with botkit studio, I don't think it's meant to work without it. Have you seem some example of a botkit bot working without the studio anywhere?

Sing-Li commented 6 years ago

Actually, I think botKit existed before the studio.

And the main operating mode has always been nodejs package via npm ->

https://www.npmjs.com/package/botkit

... 55 versions since 3 years ago. And all their coding example / documentation still today talk of studio as being optional.

But, granted, we shouldn't go against what they want to push "mainstream" right now - their path to monetization. And so I'm fine with leaving this in. Especially if we can get an opinion from a botKit staff/community member.
