RemindBot

Remind command functionality

Inspiration

We were tired of friends forgetting about a meeting so instead of pinging we decided it would be easier to make a bot do it for us and remind everyone who wants to participate of the meeting we are having.

What it does

The user can set a time and date in which they want to meet with other people and whoever reacts to the message is agreeing to meet at that time and will be notified once its time to meet.

How we built it

We used python and looked at the documentation for the discord API and online tutorials

Challenges we ran into

We started on a completely different project that we then realized was unfeasible, this was also the first time we were creating a discord bot so everything was new to us. Additionally, we were working with asynchronous functions which is something none of us had done before and gave us some trouble.

Accomplishments that we are proud of

I am pretty proud we were able to do something that was new for all of us with pretty much no other help than tutorials and the documentation. We are also pretty about the results and having a working discord bot that is useful for us and our friends in our servers. We also really enjoyed working on this project all together and might keep working on it to improve it.

What we learned

We learned how to create a discord bot (how make a bot send messages, act based on reactions and also on commands), also a lot about asynchronous functions, string manipulation in python.
