standup-friends
Echo standup messages to a dedicated channel and record them to a hypercore feed.
- Problem: We have a #standup channel but we'd often get in discussion around standup items people posted and lose everyone's standup message.
- Solution: Keep all human messages in a single channel but have a bot echo standup messages to a dedicated channel and a hypercore feed.
For example, we have to channels #general and #standup:
In #general I'd add my standup message for the day:
!standup Building a standup bot this morning and then doing hyperdrive SLEEP work next.
And the bot would echo it to #standup:
standup-bot: jhand: Building a standup bot this morning and then doing hyperdrive SLEEP work next.
Install
npm install -g standup-friends
Usage
The bot takes messages in one channel --channel and echos them to another channel echo. This makes it easy to see all standup messages in on place while still allowing discussion in the main channel.
standup-friends --cwd=data --channel=#your-irc --echo=#standup-channel
Data will be stored in cwd via hypercore.
The command will print out a hypercore key. You can then view standup messages via hyperpipe:
npm install -g hyperpipe
hyperpipe standup-data <key>
Tailing
You can tail an existing standup key and echo it to another channel/server. This is useful if you want to echo on multiple irc servers.
standup-friends --cwd=data-tail --echo=#dat --tail=<key-from-above>
This will store a duplicate of the data in /data-tail.
