gollark: You could probably make it send web notifications somehow, that'd be neat.
gollark: Abigail is hydraz.
gollark: Hmm, excellent. So we can make an abigail quotes list with inspiring quotes like "i'm gonna start this decade right".
gollark: Just use the existing libhydraz but make it so you can swap out the quotes.
gollark: We should try and gather more Abigail/hydraz quotes. Anyone got good ones?
