Fully agree. Still not sure what it will do in the end entirely but I'll outline its current functionality better.
For now, it scrapes DevOps Projects (actual jobs you can apply to) from multiple sites and broadcasts each new (and valid) project to the Slack/Telegram Subscribers.
Additionally, you can send the same Bot that informs you about new projects arbitrary URLs (that should be in the same "domain" [aka "DevOps"]) and saves them as a "Ressource". Resources, like projects, will be broadcasted to subscribers.
When subscribing, you can act (up-/downvote) on the links the Bot sends you.
In the end, I personally use it for 2 things:
- I want to know about latest DevOps jobs (mostly freelance projects) that might be interesting to apply to without parsing mails/sites manually. I just get notified once my favorite job-boards publish a new offering
- I want to save/share DevOps related Links somehow. It's actually what I use HackerNews for pretty often (stying up to date with latest tools/trends/...). Ideally a kind of dynamic, topic-centric (DevOps) and "curated" (Upvotes) Knowledge-Base evolves out of it.
Slack and Telegram come in handy for me as I don't want to use another App for this. You simply broker information through the bot and save/display it somehow so actions can be applied to the information. I wanted this to work without the need to register additional accounts or use dedicated tools. Put simply, I want to combine the simple and high-quality way of accumulating knowledge that HackerNews imposes with a more modern workflow to act (e.g. "I only want to forward an URL I find interesting/important and leave tagging, etc to the machine").
