Describe the bug
/pin is not working in topic-enabled groups

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Send a /pin not replying on any message
2. Bot doesn't respond

Expected behavior
Bot responds with some help and pins balanse.

Non-admin users sometimes want to pin messages in the chat. Do that for them, when asked (e.g. via command like /pin).

Further improvements: make pins achievable or "paid". Not with real money, ofc.

See #2

A bot should reply to messages containing monetary amounts with less popular currencies (PLN, HRK, UZS) and convert them to EUR and USD.

2. YouTube channels

Related to #7.

The idea is to save all the links posted to be able to later generate a digest of topics discussed.

Just fix them

Users should be able to bet something on a verifiable outcomes. Like: "I bet 10 coins on Valhalla being released in the upcoming Java release".

Describe the solution you'd like

A workflow with buttons for betting.
A message with buttons for verifying / confirming.

Background

A pin is one of the "currencies" used in chats, see #17.

A custom status is an additional title available for admins, rendered in grey near their usernames:

It is possible to make any member an admin with no actual admin rights, only to give him a custom status.

Idea

Sell pins and custom statuses!

Solution

• Bot Payments API
• Setting custom titles is possible with setChatAdministratorCustomTitle.
• Pins are fully controlled by the bot already
• Predefined custom status, like "Supporter" for 1€
• Predefined custom status, like "I AM RICH" for 5€.
• Custom status set by user, for about 2-3€. Make sure they would be not able to set "I AM RICH".
• Pins, 24 (1 day) for 1€
• Update the ToC! It's important when working with real money.

A @like bot can be used to send messages with reaction buttons:

But it looks kind of spammy, because of that via @like. It would be better if we could do that via our own bot.

➕ Access control, only admins can create messages
➕ Use the existing voting facilities
➕ Not sharing stats with anyone else
➖ Requires some coding, though

Because of this where clause, where only the TextContent is processed:

Types of content that should be supported as well:

• Texted / TextedInput subclasses
• PollContent.poll (question, answers)
• DocumentContent.text
• GameContent.game (title, description, text)
• InvoiceContent.invoice (title, description)
• PhotoContent.text
• VenueContent.venue (title)
• VideoContent.text

Expand UD terms in the "English Only" topic. Maybe the feature should support only italic spellings, IDK. Maybe it should have a counter / stats: UD terms used by members by day / week.

Related to #7 and #18, but kinda different.

Once per week, generate a digest:

• Posted links
• Topic discussed
• Friday's poll results
• Top messages (by number of replies)
• ???

I want to have a way to publish article links in the chat on behalf of bot.

Posts should have a text (Markdown with hashtags possible) and could have an image, poll or buttons attached.

A link to a Twitter thread is shared by a community member: https://twitter.com/ValeriiZhyla/status/1470666237286010881.

Twitter is not optimized for reading long threads.

Describe the solution you'd like
Expand Twitter links with Threadreaderapp (https://threadreaderapp.com): https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1470666237286010881.html

Provide a command (like Linux's load average) to get a digest of topics discussed last hour, day or weekend. E.g. a user asks "/discussed 1 hour" and the bot responds with a list of topics discussed last hour: "taxes, java 11, graal"

The bot could count the reactions (❤️, 👍, 💩, etc) on the posts and build a statistics for a given period of time. Rewards could be given to post authors.

https://thecode.media/markov-chain

The bot could reply to other messages or say phrases on his own from time to time. The "model" could be generated based on the messages in chat itself.

There should be a way to know user's local time

Describe the bug
Herald should support topics.

Like ideone.com

Achievements: a list of rules and levels. Whenever a user makes or achieves something that validates against the rule (like posts 1K of messages mentioning Kotlin, posts 100+ messages per day, etc) - he makes progress against the next level of the achievement. Achievements could also be "just granted" by users. I.e. achievements with levels and single-level achievements.

Karma is an example of a grantable achievement. When a user replies to another user with an upvote (+, 👍, etc) - that user makes progres against the next level of Karma.

Badges are visual representation of achievements. Any level of any achievement can have a corresponding badge.

Users can view their achievements in the chat.

Ahievements can be group-specific.
