(Feature Request) Nests

[Codeflare]

Would it be possible to add a !nest feature that creates a new channel the way eggs and raids do, with a timer of 30 days unless updated by a new !nest command?

Thanks!

We haven't been super active in the past with Github, but despite the age of this Issue, it's still relevant and worth a followup rather than a basic close and purge.

In the past we wanted to not over extend Meowth's feature set and had to prioritise what features to add by how essential they were. Eventually nests became more requested of course, but we heard that Silph was working on a nest API that we might have been able to connect to and implement instead, so held off longer for some updates on that.

At this point now, we've gotten even more interest from users looking for nest reporting so it's come to the point where we have made it a higher priority feature to add the next major version of Meowth when it releases. We will be sure to add support for nests in the next iteration in some form, and whenever the API comes out we will integrate it then at the later time as an enhancement on top of the existing feature.

We will provide an update here once it's implemented in the next version and when it's classed as stable for usage.
