On the profile page, users should get badges for things they've done in the site. Ideas:

various levels based on the articles they've read (taking into account the category etc)
badges for listening to chats with Kent episodes
badge for connecting to discord

More stuff like this would be fun I think.

Few more ideas:

thanked someone on discord (with levels)
got thanked on discord (with levels)

The got thanked could even be related to channels, to earn some category "expert" badges. For example, after a number of ?thanks in typescript one could get an typescript expert badge, after a few in backend one gets backend expert, etc.

Or maybe support instead of expert, as being thanked doesn't necessarily say something about the level.

I like that. I think I need to support some external APIs so the bot can POST and GET on the database (rather than using a GitHub gist as a db like the bot is now).

Some/All of this will probably have to come after the initial launch unfortunately. We've gotta ship someday 😅
