The KCD Discord Bot "Thanks" command

Hello friends So today a friend of mine on the KCD Discord is named Rupert.
I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure that's how you say their name. But I created
their very first poll request for open source. I wasn't aware it's the
first poll request but they did a great job.
And it was for the KCD Discord bond. And so the discord has a lot of cool
things you can do with it and one of them is they're a bunch of commands
that you can give. One of those commands is the thanks command where you
can give somebody extra kudos to say thank you and we'll record.
The that in a thanks channel so you can look at and see all the people
who've received gratitude and who've given gratitude and then it will log
that in a github gist. That's our storage mechanism for this bot. And and
actually, I think this is the only thing that requires storage that we have
but um, it's ends up being just this giant JSON object.
And so we've had this for a while Marco built it initially and it was cool
because you could say thanks ranked top and it would give you the top.10
people who'd received the most thanks. But I wanted to also have a rank for
the people who give the most gratitude as well because I think it's a nice
to to have that.
So he Rupert made the a change to also allow you to say thanks gratitude
ranked top and that would give you the the top 10 most grateful people in
the server. And it was just kind of a way to recognize people who are
making our community special and and grateful thankful.
And,Yeah, so I just kind of wanted to talk about that just a little bit and
say, hey, you know gratitude is important and it's helpful and in fostering
a community that I want to be a part of and hopefully you do as well. And
by giving a just the little bit more recognition for people who are
grateful, but also the people who are being thanked, so the people who are
doing helpful things.
I think goes a long way to making people more encouraged to continue to do
helpful and,And good things and and also to be more grateful. So and
gratitude has been scientifically proven to improve people's overall
happiness. So if you're a grateful person, you're happier. So go be
grateful today, and if you're a member of the KCD discord, then go say
thanks to somebody using the Thanks command.
And if you're not then joined because it's a cool place to hang out. All
right. I hope you have an awesome day and we'll talk to you later.
