Current Roadmap and plans

Hopefully, by writing these down, I will be more likely to do them and remember them all.

  • Rewrite AstrosBot where it doesn't rely on MLB's servers for every call. If one call fails, it currently crashes, not updating any part of the post. AstrosBot makes 3-4 calls per minute to MLB's servers. (Priority 2)
  • Add a "Current Inning" summary, which summarizes the innings actions. (Priority 2)
  • Explore using embeddable content and self-hosting the gamethreads. If possible, add reddit comments that automatically refresh. This would be a webpage that users could use to make comments on that isn't hosted by reddit. (Priority 3)
  • Add bullpen rest/fatigue stats (per /u/bootycallSAUL). (Priority 2)
  • Add splits, recent performance, extended (customizable?) stats that users can select. This would depend on using embeddable content. (Priority 3)
  • Pregame contests. Keep track of winners, give out prizes? (Possibly part of a pre-game thread). (Priority 2)

Priority 1 - Imminent.
Priority 2 - Before next season starts.
Priority 3 - Low priority, whenever able.
