#handlebot

A lightweight multifunctional IRC bot for small communities. It uses a minimal amount of third-party dependencies.

#URL previewing

If an incoming message contains a URL, handlebot automatically extracts the most useful information from the link. It can be the webpage title or a short summary of YouTube video metadata, depending on the context.
