RE: Votefun- A Simple Yet Powerful Discord Upvoting Bot

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Thanks for the suggestions, I think that the basic explanation got lost during the saves for this post(been slowly adding to it for about a month), but I'll edit it to include that.

My goal with the bot was to help communities support its members, especially since I saw many groups were voting posts made by their users, but it was either manual, or automated and not functioning properly(@steemkitchen had a bot that broke). Joining up many discord, (steem drone lovers is an example), I saw the leaders were attempting to vote for for people who made posts about topics relating to that community, and that plus a spiral of other events led me to start creating this bot. My biggest hope is that small communities to use this to help give their members something extra.

As for bidbots, I do understand your side, but I chose to include them as a way for communities without a lot of SP to help their members without having to spend too much on it. If you(or anyone for the matter) have any ideas on what I could use to replace that while still allowing new communities to help their members, I'll be happy to replace it.

The mobile app idea is a personal favorite of mine, especially since I learned how to use express.js. I do host a couple instances of the bot and having to change the settings when they ask does take some time so I thought about having a way that they can easily control it for themselves. Plus it gives me another excuse to learn more about android development.

As for style, is the bulleted list not acceptable? I'm willing to change it to what works best, and I thought it might be a good way to separate out the different ideas. I would love examples of great posts.

The style issue is not about formatting. The formatting is fine. It's more about the English, in terms of grammar and sentence construction.

Are you familiar with 1UP? When they launch next month, they may become useful in doing exactly what you want to do: Supporting communities. Their system of 1person=1vote would probably not mesh well with the bot, however.

I'll try and improve my grammar next time, not always the best at spotting errors.

As for 1UP, I've heard of them(think they had a post on trending recently), but am not really familiar with them. I'll take a look into it to see whats its all about.
