Tests for creating a new DB and connecting to it.

The test should make a new DB file, connect, disconnect, and then delete the file.

I want to add a feature where admin can edit the welcome message for the bot.
The bot should read the welcome message from the DB before posting it.

The admin will post the welcome message as a regular message, and copy that message's ID.
The command takes the message's ID and the bot will find the message, copy the content, and save it to the DB.
It needs to maintain the markdown structure.

The bot should store the time the welcome message was updated.
Rather than loading the message from DB each time, it can check the updated time, and then reload the message only if it's been changed.

We will probably need a command to test the welcome message, so that we can make sure it's correct.

I want to make a function to wrap the interaction response so that it takes up less space.
It can also wrap interaction response with the error log for if it didn't work.

The issue

Currently there is no way to thank other users in the server outside of a basic message or emoji. We also currently don't keep track of thanks so it's hard to see who contributes most to users in need.

The suggested solutions (1 code complete, 1 WIP)

Thanks Command - Code complete

I believe one solution to this could be the addition of a ThankCommand. This would allow others to call out users and share the appreciation as a new thanks message is created by the bot which could be sent to any channel. (a specific thanks channel in my changes) .

The changes to add this command can be seen here. If the changes seem like a good suggestion i can re-create the PR merging into this repository where we can discuss changes etc so we don't lose git history / context.

Emoji tracking - WIP

This would need further work but the initial changes can be seen in a WIP pr here. We add a check for a newly added thanks emoji where we could trigger methods to track or handle the data.

I think the addition of a thank specific emoji as seen here could be a good move regardless of the above changes progress.

Next steps

I am happy to do some further work on Emoji Tracking or raise a new PR for a thanks command as a follow up to your thoughts but i wanted to raise my suggestions here as a issue first.

If neither of these seem like a good move for the bot feel free to close the issue or offer alternative paths if you have something in mind but don't quite have the time to implement! Thanks.

The delete command doesn't work properly.

The intended usage is:

• Single delete: select one post ID to delete
• Delete from: select one post ID and delete all posts from that post to current
• Delete to: not used
• Delete from - to: select a from post ID and a to post ID, and delete all messages in between.

The complication lies in Discord not allowing you to combine from and to selection in their get messages feature

• Using our server's custom emojis for programming languages, add this to RFR so people can specify what they know or what they are learning

• Add roles for 'end': FE, BE

• Add roles for learning status: 'Learning', 'Professional'
