# Arkency's PlusOne Slack Bot

This project is quick implementation for plusone bot. It is like giving +1 points on message board.

Example usage:

You can also +1 any string or even an emoticon. We don't limit it to just the valid usernames on Slack. 

One usecase is to create a custom Slack emoticon for the people and then use the emoticons when +1'ing. This makes a nice visual effect.
