Hobbes is a multi-functional Twitter bot that can remind users of tweets, countdown the amount of days left in the year, and posts Tweets about upcoming Lakers games.
The countdown feature just simply has a running countdown of the days left in the year, and will restart on the New Year (EST).
The tweet reminder feature will allow a user to request to be reminded about a tweet on a date or time by them following a specific format to mention the bot with.
For example if a user wants to be reminded about a tweet on a specific date, the following format has to be used when mentioning the bot: "Reminder MM-DD-YYYY".
If a user wants to be reminded about a tweet at a specific time, the following syntax has to be used: "Reminder 30 seconds", "Reminder 50 minutes", "Reminder 1 hour", etc. The currently supported timeframes are seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and years. The time requested has to be completely typed out, not shortened as "hr, sec, or min".
Hobbes will make tweets based on when the @Lakers Twitter account posts that the Lakers are playing.
