Elkarmo

Slack karma bot written in Elixir. Allows to add (or remove) karma points to other teammates.

• Use @mention followed by ++ or -- (up to 5 +/-) to add/remove karma points to selected user.
• Talk to the bot directly or use simple mention to display the current stats.
• Say version to the bot to get the version number.
• Use @your_bot_name: reset to reset karma stats.

Karma points are stored using DETS in karma_db file.

This project uses the Elixir-Slack library to communicate with Slack.

There is a blog-post which describes how this bot was built.
