KarmaBoi was originally a python project for developing a cloud native python app.

Visit the original defunct application if you like bad code!

It's now fully re-written in Golang, and features more features! Keep reading to see bad code in Golang!!1!

Add a bot name and token as environment variables SLACK_BOT_NAME and SLACK_BOT_TOKEN.

KarmaBoi requires a Postgres Database. Currently it's hard coded to an elephantsql instance. So make sure you have that. Or fix/improve it.

Once you have those two things, just push the app to Cloud Foundry:

cf push

You can give any user or name karma by adding '++' to the end of the word:

Subtracting karma is just as simple - simply add '--':

The bot uses user IDs, so if a user's display name changes, their karma will remain.

There's a timer to prevent vote spam - karma can't be added or subtracked during this time:

You can also give name shame. Be intentional - shame cannot be decreased, it stays for the life of the user!

You can see full leaderboards by messaging the bot and give it one of the following commands: rank (for highest karma leaderboard), !rank (for lowest karma leaderboard), or ~rank (for shame leaderboard):

The bot also has a memory feature - you can tag any word using the keyword "is also":

and display what is remembered with the "keyword + ?". If a keyword has multiple inputs, the bot will choose a random one to display:
