I’ve just had this idea. Why don’t we create a bot that scans comments and replies to them with boardgamegeek links for every game found in the comment?

To simplify the implementation I would be favourable to introduce some sort of syntax to make unambiguous whether or not some words are a game name or not.

What do you think about this idea?

    Looking alright for an MVP. Now just need to prevent duplicate comments, add a bot disclaimer, do a little code cleanup, and remember the password to my server.

    Honestly, I’m most concerned about that last item…

    Edit: one more test [[Robo Rally]] [[Arkham Horror]]

      The test didn’t with the second time? Does it still work? Or for that other guy who tried it with Concordia?

      I’ll try a test of my own.

        It’s code complete, but hasn’t been deployed anywhere. I straight up don’t remember my password to my server, so need to find time to rebuild the server before it’ll work.
