Description

I and my friends are big eSports fans (mostly League of Legends)! We love watching live streams, but sometimes we'd miss some of the games because we weren't aware of the events. This is why I decided to create a simple Python bot that fetches game schedules from the web and notifies me and my friends for upcoming events.

The bot also reacts to keywords and uploads appropriate memes to that keyword. It was a fun little side project and I didn't anticipate that I will be working on this project up to this day! Naturally, the code has become very messy and unorganized to the point that I want to just start over.

I decided to turn the tides in my favor and make it a great opportunity to learn JavaScript and Node.js. I call this Discord bot version 2!

Cloud Platform

The necessity of a cloud platform is clear; the bot needs to run 24/7 so that people can use the bot, even when my computer is turned off. After some research, I discovered that Heroku is a better choice for smaller projects, as it offers simpler 

Use of Docker

When I was travelling last year, I realized that I have to install all the dependencies all over again to continue developing from my laptop. Even then, the bot wouldn't behavior the same because some versions of the modules (mostly Selenium) were different. When I decided to start over in JavaScript, I opted to use Docker to solve this problem.
