Standardize reaction receiving and posting #1446

Open rianadon opened 6 years ago

rianadon commented 6 years ago

Hubot's ability to write cross-chat-platform chatbots is extremely useful and amazing.

However, it lacks a standardized way of listening for reactions to messages or reacting with messages, as many chat platforms support.

It would be great if there was a standardized Robot.react method like the one both Slack and Discord support, as well as a method (something like Response.addReaction?) to post reactions to messages.

That way it would take minimal effort to port bots utilizing reactions between platforms.

Thanks!

This would be really nice as also our Mattermost supports it.
