Hug-a-ton

Hug-a-ton is a Slack bot to share love & appreciation with your coworkers.

This project has been greatly influenced by the ideas implemented by https://github.com/Pagepro/open-kudos, so you might want to check that project first, specially since it's feature-richer and complete.

Hug-a-ton attempts to be a simplified version of OPEN KUDOS which might suit the following use cases:

• You have already an AWS infrastructure and want to deploy the backend there.
• You like Infra as Code and want to have a repeatable way of deploying your infrastructure.
• You get scared by TypeScript and rather use good old Python.

How it works

Give a hug

Somebody helped you out? Have you seen an awesome contribution? Just send a hug to a coworker with:

/hug @john.doe [message]

An anonymous message will be posted to #-hugs_ with your message tagging the hugee

Check your balance

Wanna know the hugs you have available to give, or the hugs you've received? Use:

/hug balance

You'll get a private message with your balance

Pay it forward

Got enough hugs from your coworkers? Share the love outside your company with:

/hug donate [quantity] [charity_link]

A message will be post to the configure channel about the donation and HR will reach out to proceed with it.
