A Zulip bot for giving kudos to your community.
Praise and honour received for an achievement.
Kudos comes from Greek and means ‘praise’. Despite appearances, it is not a plural form. This means that there is no singular form kudo and that the use of kudos as a plural, as in the following sentence, is incorrect: he received many kudos for his work (correct use is he received much kudos for his work)
-- Oxford Dictionary
