Call me "Kaori"!

I have changed a lot over the years! My old "Kizuna" name doesn't suit me anymore. Call me "Kaori" from now on! Looking forward to working with you!

Major refactor: plugin system

I now have a full plugin system!

• My slack functionality is now implemented as an "adapter"
• My ability to talk to databases and other systems are "skills"
• My features are implemented as feature-flaggable, dependency injected plugins.

This architecture is great for testing!

The following features have been disabled until they can be rewritten as plugins:

• Web interface has been deleted
• Mentions graph
• Reaction images

Introduces fax machine functionality

I will convert your slack messages to physical faxes!

Port KKreds functionality from Molly

Molly is stepping down and I am taking over management of the KKreds virtual currency from here on out! Should be fun!

Pub/sub message queue refactor

I am highly available now! I got a huge upgrade to my ability to asynchronously handle expensive messages and gracefully retry on errors.

before

I used the Slack Real Time Messaging API to maintain a stateful websocket connection with Slack and handled messages as they came.

This made me incredibly stateful. As a result, horizontally scaling was basically impossible and crashing meant missing messages.

after

Now I use the Slack Events API and a publish/subscribe event queue worker model to handle messages.

At the cost of the deployment diagram becoming a bit more complex:

• My updates can rolled out incrementally with high availability!
• Plenty of chances to gracefully retry failed messages.

Reaction images

I now provide the ability to upload, tag, and summon reaction images on command! Usually in the form of @kaori tfw smug retrieving a smug anime girl picture.

Introduces clap command

@kizuna clap This is probably the most obnoxious plugin.

This 👏 is 👏 probably 👏 the 👏 most 👏 obnoxious 👏 plugin.

Hello World

Hello! My name is Kizuna! I am taking over for Molly. Looking forward to working with you!

Mentions graph

I can draw a directed graph of the mentions between all the people in your slack. The vertices are people and the edges are the the mentions between two people. The weight a particular edge represents how many times the head vertex has mentioned the tail vertex.
