My only dependency is `discord-interactions`, to | validate requests, which Discord requires. | | I like the serverless approach because if the bot commands are | only used a few times a day, the lambda only has to run a few | times a day and takes at most 0.5 sec (Discord has a 3 second | timeout for slash commands) | paulz_ wrote: | I'm not super familiar with this space but at first glance this | seems great! | | I've been meaning to goof around with discord bots. When I do, | I'll be sure to check it out. | abdullahkhalids wrote: | Offtopic: Do Zoom bots exist, or technically possible? | tn1 wrote: | Here [1] are the types of things you can make with Zoom APIs. | Perhaps you'd like to make a Chatbot integration or an SDK | integration? | | [1] https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build | chrismore wrote: | Fusebot is a Discord and Slack bot maker to create custom slash | commands using JavaScript/Node.js/npm with a web IDE. | stevenicr wrote: | does seem to just be /slash commands. | | Saw the name fusebot and was hoping for another way to bridge | discord/matrix/twitter/insert-other-thing-here - that could be | smart enough to send copies when it detects X thing or Y | person. | | Like the landing page though - and nice thought to put 'Too | busy now to install? Sign up for a reminder' | e12e wrote: | Seems to just hang after /fusebot command in discord? Is it | overwhelmed? | chrismore wrote: | Me too. Looking into it. | chrismore wrote: | Try now | e12e wrote: | Yep, think that did the trick! | | Code editing isn't great on mobile - should maybe be able | to point to a github gist/file or something? | judge2020 wrote: | Note that 'no sign up or server' is regarding this service, not | discord itself - to have a bot (or use/test it) you need a | Discord account still. | chrismore wrote: | Good point. Yeah, no sign up for the service, but if your | Discord or Slack instance requires auth, you would need to do | that. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-05-29 23:00 UTC)
