Better discord GM plugin

Why

In the crypto community it's part of the culture to say gm in the groupchats that you care about. Currently this is done by hand. The time and effort really adds up if you are in multiple different group chats!

What

Create a better discord plugin that sends gm to a list of channels the user has defined the first time that they open discord in the morning. (could also automatically send at a certain time at night if discord is open)

Skills: Javascript

Learn about how arrow functions work

Do #8 before this

• Learn about how arrow functions work

Make sure to

• understand the different ways you can return values , return {} () ({})
• understand how to write either a regular function or an arrow function

Learn about .map, .forEach, .filter

Do this after #10.
Learn about

• .map
• .forEach
• .filter

This is the main way you'll be iterating through arrays. You can close this issue when you can answer the following questions:

• When would you use forEach?
• Use arr.forEach when you need to iterate over an array, map, or set and apply a callback function to each element of that object.
• Why use forEach instead of a for loop?
• arr.forEach is a more semantic and intuitive method of iterating over an array than a for() loop. However, I also came across an article saying arr.forEach is slower than a for() loop so if you are optimizing speed it may be more helpful to use a for() loop in that specific case?
• When use .map?
• Use .map whenever you want to create a new array from an existing array. .map does not change the existing array.
