Yapper

A discord bot that notifies when your friends join a voice channel.

From the post here: https://blog.danpetrolito.xyz/i-built-something-that-changed-my-friend-gro-social-fabric/

How to run

1. Download this repository
2. Install the discord.py library. You can do this in a virtualenv if your fancy, or you can install it globally if you don't care like this:

pip install -U discord.py

4. Follow these steps to create a discord bot account and invite it to your server.
   • The bot needs "Send Messages" and "Use Voice Activity" permissions on the invite to your server.
   • Make sure you copy the "Token" (also called "Client Secret") after creating the bot account. Treat this as if it were a password, so do not share it with anyone.
5. Copy the config.ini.example file in this repo and rename it config.ini. Copy-paste your bot's Token into the token field. Set the channel field to the name of the message that you want to post notifications to.
6. Run the bot from the command line:

./yapper.py
