We have gotten lots of feedback recently on ways to improve our project, KindBot, and I am super excited to share the changes!
In the near future, we are looking to have some custom emojis and animated logos created to help the bot feel more lively. We have a lot more ideas too that we are considering adding in the future; we will announce those later on.
Added
- /affirm - A shortened version of the existing command, /affirmation. In the future, the longer command may be removed, but for now both commands will coexist and provide the same functionality.
- /breathe - This is a way to learn new breathing exercises to help you relax and focus; each exercise should take roughly 30-60 seconds.
- /inspiration - This combines a lot of existing KindBot commands into one single easy-to-use command. The current options are: Surprise, Act of Kindness, Affirmation, Breathing Exercise, Kindness Tip, Mantra, Self-care Tip.
- /mantra - A short phrase that you can remember and repeat at any time to inspire or uplift you.
Removed
- /pact - This was removed due to lack of use. If this is a requested feature to return, then it may come back, with a new look as well.
Improved
- Checkup Improvements - We have provided more resources for this command, as well as making it easier to reach out if you need help.
- Commands Reworded - A major list of commands got grammar improvements and better wording. Some commands also provide more information.
- Daily Prompts - This was a major fix: the daily prompt and daily prompt dm commands were merged, and controlling this feature was made much easier; a lot of the unused options were removed as well.
- Dashboard - As with every update to this project, the dashboard also got an update, making it much easier to view the journal and wisdom boards and modify settings for the bot.
- Points Functionality - With this new update, you can earn points to your Conscherry account by posting something to the journal or wisdom boards. This does require a Conscherry account and a linked Discord integration to work properly; if neither requirement is met, then the points are in limbo on your KindBot profile. This is subject to change at any point.
- Reworked Commands - Badges and Streaks both got a rework. There are quite a few new badges added, and they are automatically granted when the requirements are reached. As for streaks, instead of tracking when you post a journal or wisdom entry, it now applies to ANY KindBot activity! Any command that is run now counts towards your streak.
If you have any further feedback to share, our ears are always open! Leave it below in the comments, use the /suggest command through the bot, or use our newest method: surveys. For the last month or so, we have left a feedback survey open for anybody to fill out once, and this really helps us develop and improve our projects.
