hi! i'm astra, the creator of astra2. astra2 is my bot, it does bot stuff; here's a neat list of features:

• asks and forwards any youtube, spotify, reddit, twitter, and wikipedia link i send to another bulletin like channel
• reminders for taking drugs
• channel join requests

how to host this yourself:

1. install dependencies in requirements.txt

2. make a slack bot and fill in this .env template

SLACK_TOKEN=
SLACK_SECRET=

MEDIA_TARGET_USER=
MEDIA_TARGET_CHANNEL=
MEDIA_FROM_CHANNELS=

TIMEZONES=
REMINDER_CHANNEL=

Media forwarding: MEDIA_TARGET_USER are the Slack IDs of users who the bot will target forwarding from; list separated by commas (e.g. MEDIA_TARGET_USER=U123456789,U098765432) MEDIA_TARGET_CHANNEL is the Slack ID of the channel which the bot will forward the messages to MEDIA_FROM_CHANNELS are the Slack IDs of the channels in which the bot will check. The bot must be invited to said channel for this to work. List separated by commas

Annoying-ass timed reminder thing REMINDER_CHANNEL is the channel where you'll be reminded in.

3. go to app.py and fill these in with your own things

mediaTargetUser = ["Users the bot forwards from"]
mediaTargetChannel = "Channel bot sends to"
mediaTargetFromChannel = ["Channels bot forwards from"]

4. run app.py
