deltachat-polls v1.0.1

deltachat-pollbot

A text-based bot that does polls.

Usage

$ npm install -g deltachat-pollbot
$ deltachat-pollbot addr mail_pw 

TODO

high priority:

• translation of messages in pollbot.js
• set a different language by sending message to chat poll lang de
• get a deltachat email for this bot
• serve the bot somewhere (testrun.org?)

nice to have:

• support looking at backscroll of fresh messages in the case the bot went down
• welcome message on connect, something like 'I am ready to make polls!'
• save polls to disk in case bot went down
• add support to pass in a config file for advanced connection options
