RE: 🤖 TUTORIAL - Contest Bot - Building bots With steem-js #9
Hey Sam,
Question... do you think it would be difficult to build a bot that could count votes in the comments of a post?
I'm thinking the post could have:
Votebot 1 : For decision X
Votebot 2 : For decision Y
Votebot 3 : For decision Z
And then commenters could use this bot which tracks the number of votes for each for that one post...
Hard / Easy / Medium?
Thanks Sam... if I'm off my rocker and/or super annoying, let me know.
Hey dude.
Not 100% what you mean either way it's probably not that difficult or time-consuming.
Is it -
Person A comments: vote for Fred
Person B comments: vote for Sarah
Person C comments: vote for Fred
Person D comments: vote for Harry
etc.
Bot replies/tracks total votes after X amount of time.
or
Main account posts multiple comments 1) Fred, 2) Sarah, 3) Harry and bot checks upvotes on each comment?
Totally happy to help if you have any idea where something like this might be helpful. The time consuming part is often making an interface that makes the bot easier to use, actually building the bot for the command-line isn't so bad.
Thanks Sam... it's the first one.
I'm working on a project where we want commenters to help drive a story/narrative by picking one of, say, 4 options.
I imagine lots of other Steemians would want to use this too, but we've got our specific project in mind.
I'm happy to learn the coding to try and make this work... just not super sure if it was possible or where to start.
