Karmabot is a slack bot that helps you keep track of how awesome things are.

Karmabot's design currently plans for two different interactions. You can increment/decrement the karma of various things, and you can ask Karmabot for a leaderboard to see what is loved the most.
To get Karmabot's attention, either send it a direct message or post a message with @Karmabot
in a channel that Karmabot has been invited to. Karmabot will then parse your message as follows:
- Karmabot will increment or decrement the karma of strings that are proceeded with
++or--. You can increment or decrement up to five points at a time.- Ex:
coffee++-> Coffee now has one more point. - Ex:
monday-----> Monday now has three less points.
- Ex:
- (Not active yet) Messages containing the phrase
!leaderboardwill have Karmabot reply with the current top 5 karma holders.
Feel free to suggest more features as GitHub issues.
Karmabot is a glorified key-value store. Please don't store personal information in Karmabot. I'm not sure how you would, but please don't use Karmabot to break laws or do immoral things.
Karmabot deploys to AWS Lambda and is accessed through API Gateway. It uses a MongoDB database hosted in Mongo Cloud Atlas, for the simple reason that they gave me a 200$ voucher at a conference.
I might add some CloudFormation templates at some point to help anyone wanting to copy my infrastructure setup.
