Low usage and/or engagement; time for new features? #12

I was thinking of implementing a "shout board" kind of concept, which is more conversational. Currently the randomising of quotes sent to the board means lower visibility; users have not much control over what appears on the board. Also, we already have a quote bot created by someone in PAAS if I remember correctly.

I imagine it to work like "/shout anyone saw my mug at the pantry".

What do you think? @yuhong90

Sure! How does it differ from quotebot? Only the last message stays on screen? Or are they presented as stacked on top of prev msg?

Since its a shout bot, how about we really make it read out the text with some text-to-speech?

Awesome idea. Let's do it

Update:

Start looking/experimenting with IBM Watson's text-to-speech or other APIs we can use for this feature
