Not sure how you'd implement this for non self hosted bot but this would be really usefully to have

freyacodes commented 7 years ago

Can you elaborate? Do you mean allowing server admins to create aliases, or allowing selfhosters to configure a list of aliases?

sidesvvipe commented 7 years ago

Both ideally, but I was thinking about first option - allowing admins to do ;;alias

freyacodes commented 7 years ago

Why both? Wouldn't the first just make the second mostly obsolete?

The only thing you'd need for this is a database with a really fast access. Not sure what FredBoat currently uses, but redis for example could work.

We use Postgres

We actually cache our entities with ehcache, so it wouldn't really cause much delay, even if the database is located on a different continent
