RE: Hi, I am GINA! I'm here to help!

This seems super promising and very well done! Although, as a new user I can't help but ask where the benefit comes in over something like steemwatch? Just starting out myself, I personally haven't tried out either yet, but from what I've seen they track the same things and with steemwatch you can use your FB/twitter/etc. to sign up where as GINA seems to be based on Discord, a platform I don't care much for. So is she mainly for Discord advocates looking to integrate the two or is there a real difference? Either way, well done!

Sort:  

I was thinking about FB integration but they don't have nice formatting as Discord has. I can only send text messages which is ugly and it is under my tolerance level :)

However hundreds of Steemians use discord in a daily basis as a way to connect with each other and this solution seemed to be the best. Besides writing a native android/ios app and browser extensions and/or native windows and linux apps too... way too much work for me as I have developed this bot alone so far. Soon it will be open sourced and who knows which way it will go after that?

If you haven't tried Discord yet, maybe you should:)

Thank you for your comment!

well... she has a few more notifications than steemwatch, and is continually being developed. Discord is a powerful and versatile chat application, many people are using it for all type of work... not sure which chat app is doing a better job.
