The purpose of this page is to outline planned features for Comrade NEXT.

Reworks from Comrade V5 and Requiem (V6)

Dynamic Emote System

Porting full system over to Python (ditching the Go bot)
Keeping data hosted on MongoDB
Changing system to explicitly split into two different streams
1. Big Emotes
  - Retains pretty much identical functionality to current big emotes
2. Discord Emojis
  - Changed to allow for loading of emojis into the server using different strategies (e.g. LRU caching)
Document schema is changing; both types will be stored as serialized dataclasses with an underlying structure much more similar to how emojis are defined in Discord's API
More methods for finding and extracting emojis from other sources
(Stretch) adding functionality for parsing, modifying, loading, stealing stickers

Macros

Completely transform the macro language into a restricted subset of Python using asteval
- Add in full feature functionality from Comrade V6 System (e.g. using random methods)
Allow for evaluation of any available slash command using classic prefixed commands, converting arguments automatically as needed

Reminders

Reworked system to function similarly to Slack's reminders

Live Patching

Using jurigged as a part of a system to patch the bot automatically whenever I push and tag commits to main

New Additions

Project Organization, Tests

Applying everything I've learned about developing good software over the past year
Bot will be split into online and offline segments, with offline segments having thorough automated testing
(Stretch) online automated testing
