It’s a no-brainer, but doesn’t look like anyone has made one yet, a Twitch/Cloudbot clone that actually updates all the configuration settings from a GitHub repo with a web hook. Such a fucking simple idea. Perhaps someone will get to it before I do. In fact, I could lobby to get FOSS funding to create a service that does it for free. I mean, if the Pokemon directory can get free hosting on Digital Ocean, why not.
My main motivator is actually education. It is so much more engaging and interactive to have a bot there to intelligently answer questions as well as respond to particular commands. Hell, this might even by my perfect foray into machine learning. By keeping all the logs and the most common commands that resulted from certain messages through chat the model would determine the most expected thing to respond. I wonder if nickwan_data would be interested in a project like that. I could see the world really needing it. Bots that become intelligent about how to respond to specific questions, be they for entertainment or education.
To start with, however, we just create all the commands we use and go with that.
