Phil explains to Marshall how the bot and Manifold talk to each other with regards to user information etc

Data storage

• Some dtored both on manifold side and bot side
• Some calls btwn the to sync data
• M why duplicated?
• Stephen made the decision for performance reasons
• Previously bot stores in firestore with table with hash of url. Multiple bots (prod and dev) pointing to same Manifold. - changed now to just have one bot.
  • M why would we have multiple bots?
  • P mostly just a development problem. Dont want to mess up Manifold data.

Talking about deployment technicalities.

Can merge without the bot necessarily up and running. So should do that.

Security concern with function “Twitch credentials”

Logged in Manifold users can pretend their Twitch is something else

• Want only bot to call this function. It had done the auth by talking with Twitch’s auth so needs a secure way for only the bot to communicate this to Manifold.

• Phil has some ideas but no obvious clean solution.

• P would be good to do some testing with multiple streams active

• M let’s just merge straight to main (will also kinda merge to dev)
