Group Editor Bot

Small bot that manages editors for a group, and resends it when new people join.

The flagship instance is: groupedit@nine.testrun.org

Usage in Delta Chat

Once the bot is running:

1. Add the bot address to some group in Delta Chat.
2. Send /editor to the group.
3. The bot will post an editor to the group
4. When new people are added to the group, they will already see the editor.

Other commands:

• If you send /pin Text with an attachment to a group where the bot is present, you can make the bot re-send the message with your Text and your attachment. This is useful for using other webxdc apps other than the editor.
• With the /invite command, the bot will generate an invite link for the group, which will also work if your devices are not online.
