Manage your events with lineup. Create events and hold more organized Q&A sessions among a group! Our intuitive discord bot allows for the seemless creation of Q&A sessions facilitating for more efficient responses and management from Profs, TA's and event hosters alike!
We felt as if there is a great need, especially in times of online learning, for improved online tools regarding education and communication. Office hours, tutorials and general question sessions just aren't the same online and tend to become pretty chaotic. We hope to change that. Our bot can be integrated within multiple servers to serve multiple different communities, helping all of them manage their question sessions. This in turn allows for better engagement among attendee and host - a win win for all!
Some problems occurred. How can we have a bot store separate information across a multitude of servers all utilizing it at once? How would we use the discord.py API to create what we needed? What other object structures would need to be created for everything to work exactly the way we wanted it. We were able to devise away that would allow for the bot to keep track of each individual server's needs at once. Documentation and YouTube are everyone's best friend when it comes to learning new technologies, and we decided that storing questions and events as separate objects would be enough for what we needed!
Where do we want this to go? Everywhere. Classrooms, discussion boards, meetups, conferences, events. The applications, while simple, can be used endlessly across several different environments.
