Reviving #2

Open luceos opened 6 years ago

luceos commented 6 years ago

Hello @garrettw ,

I've been looking for an alternative to the reflex lib and found yours to have at least an idea of where to go to. I was considering forking it myself as I've written a bot utilising the reflex lib in combination with botman.io. However I am not interested in pulling the weight by myself, perhaps we can combine our efforts.

If so, wouldn't it make more sense to set up a discord-php organisation and remove the fork-status completely?

Hope to hear from you!

As I was just considering your idea, I remembered that I had started on an IRC bot framework a while back. I wonder, why shouldn't I make a single library that has the ability to connect to both IRC and Discord, and bots could easily be written for either platform using the same (or at least a similar) API?

If I go that route, I can't call it "Wiscord" – that's too specific. I could use the name of my IRC lib, "Pierce", but I'm not sure. Thoughts?

Take a look at botman.io; it's what I used to write a discord bot with. But having no discord lib in php able to use the websocket/gateway functionality is the blocker.
