Inspiration

Due to Covid-19, Discord has become a popular platform for collaborating on school and work projects. To make these projects more manageable, we have created Honk, a discord bot for sorting tasks, managing deadlines, and sending reminders. Unlike existing task managing discord bots, Honk sends messages before deadlines and allows users to easily mark task completion.

What it does

Can add/delete tasks with assigned members (with completion status) and deadlines. Sends reminders to members who have not completed tasks at set interval before deadline.

How we built it

Used discord.py and repl.it to build and host the bot.

Challenges we ran into

  • Reading discord.py documentation - Our first attempt at reading official documentation so we found it difficult to follow
  • Time limit and frustration- first time building a bot so we had to search the internet even for the most basic commands
  • Using datetime and connecting with discord to make timed events

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Learning more about functionalities in discord, datetime
  • Making something that we can actually use in future team projects

Next steps for Honk the Task Bot

  • We would like to extend it for habit tracking
  • Set time in different time zones

Built With

  • discord.py
  • repl
