Presets for "When"

Hi,

thanks for your bot, I like it! (And I think, we've met last year at the Coding Amigos ;))

To save the user some typing, can you add some preset "options" when asking for when? For example, I don't want to literally type "now", I'd like to have it offered and just tap it.

Or: Can you allow some shortcuts? Like

• n for "now"
• 10m for "in 10 minutes"
• 5h for "in 5 hours"

Thanks! :)

rename /routes to /journeys

Bot startet nicht

Hallo Jannis, erstmal danke für diesen Bot :)
Ich würde gerne erleben wie er funktioniert, leider habe ich ihn bei mir noch nicht zum laufen gebracht. Er reagiert auf keine meiner Eingaben. Wärst du so nett und würdest mir diesbezüglich helfen?
Liebe Grüße
Flo

run bot on a new server

When I connect in Telegram to the public_transport_bot and /start, nothings happens. Also stuff like /route doesn't do anything.

Personal shortcuts

How about allowing to set some personal shortcuts? For instance, let's say I live at Ostkreuz and work in Frohnau, then I'd like to set only once something like

• /set-shortcut work, Ostkreuz, Frohnau, now

This make the bot remember a shortcut named work.

Afterwards, I can anytime call /shortcut work, and get next connection fetched.

This could be also extended to the current location. For instance, I could set

• /set-shortcut home, [current location], Ostkreuz, now

Then, when I call /shortcut home, my current location gets fetched and then the next connection – without any tedious typing.

update to bvg-hafas@2

The migrating to hafas-client@4 guide should help with this.
