  • GUARDIAN_ID could be int, telegram name or psn name

• implement support for sub-commands

• Track weekly raids cycle automatically,

  3. futures-cpupool as a very primitive wrapper
     • diesel-rs/diesel#399
  4. tokio threadpool blocking tasks
     • tokio-rs/tokio#317
  5. bb8 as diesel pool
     • could this help?
