TODO

1. Add more crimes to crimes. We can never have enough crimes.
2. def: Odo tells you to stop working at 6pm EST. DM, based on time zone?
3. odo news: Odo tells you a daily (?) update, pulling from NYT/Harvard/etc?

• odo nyt is a thing. What about !nyt?

4. def: if weather is sunny and temp > 30, then Odo reminds you to go see something at the Harvard art museums.
5. Odo counts votes for food?
6. Odo responds to convos more than once.
7. odo welcome: Odo welcomes new users to the Slack channel.
8. odo random: Odo randomly goes to join the great Link with the other Founders. Kind of like the bits in Sims/Sim City/etc. when aliens arrived. Very rare, very random.
9. At least one reference to the bucket.
10. Docstrings on all the funcs. Make them more serious/real.
11. odo dj: Some integration with Spotify?
12. Where to get Odo quotes?
13. Fix Odo's boring/dark picture to something more lively.
14. How to do .config file stuff in Heroku? This stuff...

• To run locally: odo_secret.json
• To run on Heroku: os.env.get()

15. odo report: Only active users to get randomly chosen.
16. Odo responds to DMs/mentions.
