RainDance Discord Bot

This was primarily written to keep track of PoGo weather changes, but may have other uses.

Commands

  • latitude and longitude of the location you wish to track
• rd!stop
  • stop bot from running
• rd!commands
  • display available commands

Known Issues/Missing Features

• App/Docker support to run outside IDE
• Forecast runs on the :45 and not on the hour

• Weather change alert when weather changes from a previous state
• Ability to make this a public bot
  • Probably not possible due to the fact that heavily used API keys are not free
