How it works

• During the day, the IRC bot asks you what you’ve done

• You say !done what you did• At the end of the day, everyone gets an email

with what everyone has done

> !done squashed some bugs

!done commands

> !done pushed to production

> !todo send out notification emails

> !hero caseorganic for bringing Legos!

> !blocking loud noises from construction work

At the end of the day, everyone gets an email with what everyone has !done

> !done squashed some bugs
