ReadTime Bot

Build Status

ReadTime is a bot that listens for messages containing links, and will post an estimate the reading time. The estimate is based on Medium's read time forumula, via the readtime library.

The only commands of that bot are administrative, to control in which room(s) the bot is active.

Commands

  • !readtime activate — Activates the plugin in the current room.
  • !readtime deactivate — Deactivates the plugin in the current room.

Installation

The ReadTime bot depends on the readtime library. You can either install it yourself, or set AUTOINSTALL_DEPS to True and let ErrBot do the rest. More info in the User Guide.
