Inspiration
Sometimes, reading news is a chore. You can get very dire views of the world in the moments you less need them. For those times, KarmaNews gives you back some faith in humanity.
What it does
This bot will post news pieces from time to time, or when directly asked. When added to a group, it will track the messages sent there and rank the positive-ness of the environment using the Everis APIs.
How I built it
We may have learned python today. Seems good. Google approves.
Challenges I ran into
The Telegram API is hell, but manageable. We worked in groups through git, and some "fun" events happened. Read: entire python script got wiped without warning.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We may have done this during the last night.
What I learned
We may know python now. Telegram bots are really cool to build and we are definitely trying some new ideas on them soon.
What's next for KarmaNews Telegram bot
Pulling the news from ie. Reddit instead of hardcoding them into arrays!
