Features

• Only needs an incoming hook and a custom command!
• You can high-five anybody in the room with /hi5 ...

• or even high-five yourself.
• Watch out, though! People might steal that high-five if Hermione isn't fast enough.

Create an Incoming Hook and note the token. Write the token down in a token file.

cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies -j
cabal run

Create a Custom Command (like /hi5) and point it at the HTTP server.

Now, should you type /hi5, you'll get this:
