Support for 3rd party Matterbridge integrations - Discourse, Facebook Messenger, etc.

[sunjam]

I'm curious on whether it will be planned to support 3rd party Matterbridge integrations such as Discourse and Facebook Messenger.

The API is basic at the moment. More info and examples on the wiki.

Used by the projects below. Feel free to make a PR to add your project to this list.

MatterLink (Matterbridge link for Minecraft Server chat)
pyCord (crossplatform chatbot)
Mattereddit (Reddit chat support)
fbridge (Facebook messenger support)

Well whatever matterbridge can do, we can have?🤔

@sunjam Using this Matterbridge API feature implies to start the API clients independently from Matterbridge itself. We most likely won't automate that. I mean, IMHO this integration is useful for people who don't know/want to dive into Matterbridge configuration.

I would say that advanced users who want to do more complex stuff like that might have the skills to manually configure Matterbridge + the API clients outside our integration.

That being said, we will certainly make our integration interface able to use all Matterbridge built-in backends (like Gitter, Ssh-chat...).
