Has anyone gotten this to work yet? Struggling to on mine. @joaomdmoura what tech are you using to build this? Really interested about the integrations being used!

@haichenw It's supposed to avoid send new during some hours, while ppl sleep, that might be the reason, but you should have received news already. The tech I used it Ruby + Rails + Sidekiq + Python, also Postgres + Redis, hosted on Heroku + Digital Ocean and scrapping from soccer news

What a great way of doing this, with WhatsApp groups. I just wish they had more teams from more countries.

@joaomdmoura @cenk Great idea! Would reach more people if it had native language support for the countries supported.

@ykguler @cenk indeed, what I'm trying to do is to get some regional teams in their native languages.

Great service, but a bit risky to host this on Whatsapp, no? With no official API, can't they kick you out someday?

@mmariansky If you look at it with a business perspective it might seems risky to depend on WhatsApp, and yes there is no official API, but keep in mind that WhatsApp is a similar XMPP chat, so it isn't so easy for them to check for this kind of usage and kick it out or block it.

I'm curious, where do you get the news from? I'm checking Manchester United's website almost every day, so wonder how this could complement that ;-)

@mrolovsson The news come from others sites that does aggregation of different sources. But it depends on the team. But keep in mind that by the weekend we will probably have live games as well and *maybe* videos from goals and stuff. :D

i thought whatsapp groups are limited to a max number of participants, do you have several groups for the same teams?

@enriquedubois I think u misunderstood it, this is a bot with an actual mobile number, you add it to your existing groups, and create as many bots as you want to as many groups you have. On mobile, sorry for any typo

and by 'soccer' we mean football right? ;) In all seriousness, good job with this! There are few groups of people more opinionated than football(!) fans.

interesting. going to test it. i think this will work wonders if users can select/msg what they'd like msgs about; whatsapp groups get flooded with msgs very easily nowadays

@mrandydavis Indeed, I'm still doing some experiments about the frequency I should send the messages :)
