Description

This bot was written in a bit of a hurry, because I just wanted to make a UI for instauto. Therefore there are a few things that are a bit hacky which causes some limitations:

  • Refactor the database so it can handle concurrency. Currently just a json file read/write #44
  • Refactor instauto so it supports stopping the bot (so we don't have to kill the app when stopping)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the database work described in #44 and the integration with instauto. Determine how the current JSON file read/write behaves under concurrency and how instauto can stop the bot without killing the app; done means both limitations are addressed and the UI remains usable.
