Discord.py has a lot of useful features that I'm not taking advantage of yet: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/index.html

From a learning standpoint it makes sense for me to start small, but as(/if?) this project grows I'll eventually need to start taking full advantage of the library to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Maybe make it that discords have to be explicitly linked (via config file maybe) to share commands between them.

This includes !save and !delete, possibly others.

Server admins can then manage who has access to those commands based on who can see that channel.

ie !emote :some_emote: would respond with a message where the content is just that emote. I think.

Don't have to be super comprehensive, but we're at the point where I need to be able to make sure changes don't break everything without having to test manually in discord.

!save a-command
content is down here with no space after "a-command"

would currently be stored as something like "a-command\ncontent".

We just need to change from string.split(' ') to string.split()

Instead of saving a fixed response to a given trigger, users could save (and later add) multiple potential responses, from which one is selected every time that command is triggered.

Current thoughts:
"Maybe instead of having the command be !record, I'll make it !save and !add (or similar.) One to make it a single command, the other to add/create a random command. If someone tries to save a random command or add to a single command, it'll give an error."

Will probably need to include a mechanism for enumerating the currently saved responses, and removing some of them.

I'm not comfortable having people save commands until I'm confident that I won't accidentally nuke said commands at some point.

Newton would respond* in any channel to those with that role, not just the admin channel.

*Newton would need write permissions to that channel though, so mods still have a way to restrict things.
** Should only respond to ~commands, not !commands.

I don't really care about trying to explain that this code isn't useless, but I should at least make it clear how to get started for anyone interested in contributing.

Saved line breaks are converted to spaces instead of being kept as newlines. Use partition instead of split() when parsing input.
