Warscribe
keeps a record of our wars
This application is designed to accept and parse an outgoing Slack webhook. Specifically, Warscribe takes a command like /addwar foo vs bar
and appends foo
and bar
to a list of comparisons. It's being used in Devanooga's #holywars Slack channel. Warscribe is built to store its data in Airtable.
Parsing
Currently, Warscribe will do one of two things when parsing a command. It will return its version if the invoked command was /addwar version
. It will add two options to a list of comparisons when they are separated by vs
, eg. /addwar foo vs bar
. You can provide a context for the war by appending a semicolon followed by the extra context, eg. ; baz
.
Roadmap
A few features are planned as soon as I (or others) get time to implement them. Here's an unordered list of them:
- Initiate a war, using a command like
/startwar
that looks for today's war, then initiates it. - Auto initiate a war at a particular time without requiring a
/startwar
command. - Create a poll, using a command like
/pollwar
that generates a poll for today's war. - Handle polling itself instead of relying on other Slack tools like Simple Poll.
- Closing a poll, using a command like
/closewar
writing the results to Airtable. - Automatically opening and closing polls without requiring a
/pollwar
//closewar
. - Provide a simple web interface for viewing the current (and previous) war, poll, poll results, etc.
