A slack bot to listen in on slack channels and notify the channel when a user posts a link that has already been posted.
Based on Botkit.
Features
- Parses messages for links and checks them for reposts, responds in the channel when a link is reposted with a count of how many times it has been reposted.
- Keeps track of links on a per channel basis.
- When DM'ed with a link, will check all channels to see if it has been posted before.
- On startup, parses the history for channels it is a member of and looks for links it may have missed during any downtime.
