hi all, i wrote a slack plugin for creating memes in slack (uncannily similar to sassy in hipchat, if you've used that)

oliy08:09:41

if there's any interest to add it to clojurians slack, or you'd like to add it to your own slack, you can do so at https://slacky-server.herokuapp.com - feel free to ask me for information or look at the code on github

oliy10:09:18

it's all in clojure of course!

jonpither11:09:23

can you add to ldnclj?

oliy11:09:53

actually it looks like i do have permissions to do that, but clojurians slack has reached its integration limit

oliy11:09:59

scratch that, i can

emil0r11:09:06

As much fun bots are to code, i hope it does not get added. I have no wish to see another channel being bombarded by memes from bored people. Sorry @oliy

oliy11:09:51

@emil0r I agree there is a time and place, I think if someone is spamming a channel it's a matter of an individual not following etiquette rather than anything else

cfleming12:09:08

@oliy: Perhaps only add it to off-topic?

oliy12:09:45

that would be a new feature to restrict the channel, but i can implement that

cfleming12:09:50

Ah, ok, I thought ldnclj was a channel here

oliy12:09:40

it is, but you can't add slack integrations to just one place, they apply everywhere

samflores13:09:43

@oliy but I think the bot can be programmed to only respond messages received from a specific channel

oliy13:09:44

@samflores: it's a slash command, slack doesn't let you have them just for specific channels

oliy13:09:24

i can add a whitelist/blacklist for Slacky, i've raised it as https://github.com/oliyh/slacky/issues/11

frank15:09:37

@oliy: that's amazing!

oliy15:09:09

@frank: thanks! hope you enjoy it - there are more features coming soon

frank15:09:11

how can I add it so that it's accessible from any channel?

oliy15:09:21

it should be accessible from any channel already

frank15:09:38

even if the incoming webhook I set up made me choose a channel?

oliy15:09:45

the one you have to set in the webhook is just the default channel

oliy15:09:57

it will respond to the channel you post from
