hubot-curate-links

This plugin is only compatible with Slack API.

When a link is shared, the bot stores it into the DB. When the publish time comes, he checks if the link has received more 👍 than 👎 and mark it as "approved". (More about Slack reactions feature.)
Then you can use the data to publish the links on an external website.

Installation

In hubot project repo, run:

npm install hubot-curate-links --save

Then add hubot-curate-links to your external-scripts.json:

[
  "hubot-curate-links"
]
