Hello people,

Am very happy to see JBot listed on slack.com (https://api.slack.com/community)

Guys, from the feedback of many developers, I have renamed the project from BotKit to JBot.

Thanks very much.

I really liked JBot and was thinking of renaming it now and here's what I found: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=JBot

:D Surprising

I got one yesterday. Most probably a Hacker News reader gave me one :)

Guys, are there any Hacker News badges for Github?

For example, I want to show points on it and refer to this page when someone clicks on the badge.

Great project. Cheers!

I see that you use keybase.io, can you send me an invite if that's okay for you?

Any reasons behind this thought? Mentioning the same here would help.

Example modified and released. Thanks once again for pointing this out.

Yes, was discussing the same with Botkit founder as well. Will change the name asap.

Yes, JBot seems cool :)

This framework will also be for facebook and twitter. So, a universal name would be great :)

Thanks for letting me know. The example shown is incorrect as you can't reply to it. Because to reply you need to have a channel id in event object and slack doesn't send a channel id for file_shared event (https://api.slack.com/events/file_shared).

I will modify the example now. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much @staticelf

Yes, will change the name soon. Please suggest a good one. Was thinking of BotGear.

I have done it and the same can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12239667

Thanks very much @brudgers. I will give it a look and publish there on Show HN.
