Trying to write a bot using the api i came across the limitations of "just" sending messages to the gateways, so a way to reply to users available to users and bots would be very useful
I am not enterily sure how to adress a specific user and a specific platform using eg. irc or slack in a intuitive way..
but sending a DM to the bridge bot starting with {username}@{account} would provide enough information to search for eg. nikky@slack.uni
each platform would search for nicknames before username and optionally insert the string needed to reply eg: someuser@irc.server as nick/user name
usig this system a bot can send respond to any user on any (DM-capable) platform, i hope
PS: actually just having the bots part implemented would be plenty features for me at the moment
