Discord bot for better pins

pinbot's Issues

Update pin messages

Add a mechanism to update pin messages, so that if the format of the pin message changes then previously created pins can be updated for consistency.

Listen for regular pins

Pinning a message the old-fashioned way will emit a CHANNEL_PINS_UPDATE event. At this point, trigger a reimport of the pinned messages for that channel

Add message command

As an alternative to reacting with emoji

Thread message support

Add the ability to pin messages in threads

Observed:

No emoji ack, nothing in logs

Track channel renames

When a channel with a pin-specific channel is renamed, users must remember to also rename the pin channel

Pinbot should track channel renames, and if an associated pin channel is present, attempt to rename that automatically

Detect duplicate 📌 reactions

Currently every time someone reacts with a 📌 emoji the message will be pinned

Bot should react to the pinned comment when done

Bot does not repost images

Add integration tests

Investigate the possibility of running a full suite of integration tests against the actual Discord API.

• Create a temporary guild for the test run with channels configured correctly
• Run tests for common scenarios
• Delete guild on teardown

Ingest existing pins

With slash command?

Add tests to CI pipeline

Following on from #3, tests should be run in Github pipelines on branches and on merge to master.

Outstanding questions:

• Which bot should be running these tests?
• Which guild should the tests be run in?
• Should the test bot create a guild per test?

Add Dockerfile

• Add Dockerfile
• Build Docker image in CI
• Publish to Docker Hub as part of CI pipeline

Add permissions

Some guilds might not necessarily want every user to be able to pin messages. Add a way for guilds to specify if a user can pin messages.

For example, Pinbot could detect the presence of a pinbot-user role in the guild. If this role is present then when receiving the pin request Pinbot should verify that the user pinning the message has the role.

Copy embeds

When a message is pinned it should copy the contents of the embeds, such as links, tweets or YouTube videos
