ExTwitchPomobot

The first and only one Twitch Bot that brings the power of the Pomodoro Technique while you are at streaming.

Everything is started because of doing Live Coding on Twitch

Run the TwitchBot

export BOT_PASSWORD=oauth:<OAUTH_TOKEN_HERE>
export BOT_NAME=<YOUR_BOT_NAME>
export BOT_CHANNEL=<YOUR_CHANNEL>

$ iex -S mix

iex(1)> alias ExTwitchPomobot.IRCTwitchChat, as: Client
iex(2)> :ok = Client.start()
:ok

Client.write("hello from elixir")

To generate an oauth token you can use Twitch Chat OAuth Password Generator.

DOING

Start the application automatically. No need to run command in iex -S

TODO

As soon as the pomodoro ends, the chat will be notified
As a viewer I can see how much time is left before the short break
- the command !pomo will show the current task name and how much time left
As a viewer I can ask a question related to the current pomodoro
- the command !pomo_ask [my question for streamer here ...] will add a question
As soon as the pomodoro is over, all the related questions will appear in the chat
[?] Do we need to parse the IRC message? Or we can deal with the command only?
[?] Should the CommandParser.parse have to return a Undefined command where unable to parse?
- Should the Undefined command be part of Commands? I don't think so ...
[?] Right now we handle the command StartPomodoro, but we talk to a Timer... Could it be a bit confusing?
[?] How can we deal with the fact that the PomodoroTimer shares function start from GenServer and Timer?

DONE

As a streamer I can start a new pomodoro with a task name
- the command should be !pomo_start [task name]
[BUG] At the moment the CommandHandler.handle() is blocking. This cause a timeout when trying to write messages to the chat, through the IRCTwitchChat
- We may have two options:
  - Make the CommandHandler a GenServer and handle all the commands as cast (non-blocking)
  - OR, provide two connection to the Twitch Chat: one for reading, and one for writing
