Poll Result: SMS and CALL, Notification testing and Kickstarter check

Thank you very much to vote on the Poll - the result is showing me this Patreon is very useful for me and also at the end for you, because @White Speaker will get features which you want to see! Without you I would...

• have worked on the wrong features in the first place.
• not have realized SMS and CALL as a feature at all.

So that is why this poll and especially your feedback is so valueable for me! Thank you!

1. SMS and Call

The SMS feature (suggested by Tulli) and the CALL feature (suggested by poetka) has the most votes. And it is not a feature I had on my mind at all! 

So this will be the first feature I will work on - actually I did start already to be honest. I have written in the poll comments, that I will start with SMS. But I realized already, that Call is simple (or difficult?!) as SMS itself. So both will be integrated at the same time.

I see currently a couple of topics, I have to add to this feature, so it will take a while till it is fully functional:

There is currently no link between you Patrons and Discord, to verify you as one of my Patrons for @White Speaker. I know that there is an integrated feature of Patreon available, but I'm not the Admin of the discord server, so I have to rely and accept the decision of @Bendalff here. Otherwise I have to do a messy work-around. 

The next topic is, there will be a one time two factor authorization. Making sure, that the phone number you tell me (or to @White Speaker), is really yours.

Additional to this, I have to think about how each of you configure this feature by yourself: 

• SMS (only) or Calls(only) or both?
• How often shall it get in contact with you via SMS (any blocking time like today @everyone is blocked for 2h)
• How often shall it get in contact with you via CALLS.
• Any timeframe, which it should not call you, even when you have activated this feature.
• And whatever I have not thought about it already...

And of course, I have to define the Patron level. 

Then the shop module has to be re-written in the area of notification too. So I can add the reset of the @everyone 2h block feature too.

2) Notification Testing

Yes, that makes sense to test your Discord settings. Again, I have to rely on @Bendalff here too!

I think of a hidden channel, which you will be invited to, once you would like to try your settings. @White Speaker will post the settings needed for a proper notification in the channel. Once you feel OK with your settings, she will throw an @everyone. If successful, you will be kicked out again of that channel.

3. Kickstarter check

Unfortunately Kickstarter is not delivering a usefull API. So I have to create a site scrapper and find the correct sections... But I think it would be cool, when we know:

• When Poots logged in
• When Poots sending Messages into the comment section (he is recently active again on kickstarter!)

--------

Stay tuned, I will work on that, as soon as I find some time!

YOU ARE AWESOME!

Take a step back 

To be honest, I would have worked on the Instagram feature and on further increasing the checking speed of the shop. After taking a step back and re-evaluate also the poll result I came to following conclusion: 

• Shop speed: Actually it is SUPER FAST and it would just be my personal ambition to get the best out of it. It also shows the items which are purchasable, which are not in the "in-stock" section. The feature is good. So I have to reject that idea and spend the time on topics which you prefer! 
• The Instagram feature is requrested by content creators. But it seems like you have a different focus, which is fine! @White Speaker is not a bot for me, it is for all of you!
