- ParaDoes nevet do polls?
- dreamrealnot yet. It certainly could; it wouldn't be a hard operation to put in.
- dreamrealWhat would a poll look like?
- ParaHow fashionable it is to spam multiple lines?
- dreamrealnot very.
- dreamrealIt's doable, but IRC tends to punish such things AND egress to IRC is throttled.
- dreamrealWhat did you have in mind?
- Para"From range of Ecc 1:2-18, describe your current work project" would be numeric range, then there's the more standard "a) cats b) dogs" kinda label one, and then overtly complex like ranked voting.
- dreamrealI'm about to head upstairs to play with my absurd toy, for the record, so time is limited.
- dreamrealWell, I don't see why you couldn't construct a polling operation, I just wonder what the semantics would be such that it made sense
- dreamrealyou could always limit it to slack and discord, too, which have very different rules
- ParaSlack used to have good poll apps, but they all went commercial and enshittified.
- dreamrealI want to get nevet on mattermost but mattermost's bot-like API is ... constrained to the discord and slack slash-operation model
- ParaLiteral push-button-to-vote kind of polls, time limits etc.
- ParaI kinda want to mention Rocket.chat's API but it's so...old. And simple.
- dreamrealwell, streampack's source repo is open...
- dreamrealI need to fix the url though
- ParaOn a tangent, did a Slack bot this week for posting GitHub PR related content to company Slack.
- ParaTook like four hours for the first "can we turn this off?" feedback, while this was of course agreed upon like four times within the past few months that it's going to happen.
- ParaOh well, some people just don't want to see work being done, I guess.
- dreamrealheh
- dreamrealPara: https://github.com/streampack-dev/streampack
- dreamrealthat's the current codebase
- ParaIt does have a minor noise issue but I'd be more open to feedback like "Could you disable force push notification?" instead of just "turn it off"
- dreamrealthe UI is held in a private repo under that group, mostly because it's not "official"
- Para(the thing posts all single PR updates to one thread so it doesn't spam the main channel)
- dreamrealPara: yeah, people are stupid
