New Post Support!
This is a huge feature because it basically eliminates adding EXIF data through comments. EXIF data through comments will still exist, but will only be used for outreach. This feature allows users to give the bot user the ability to post EXIF data directly to a users post. This is really important as it becomes more critical to the steemit community to make bots more useful while limiting the spam produced.
Usage
Users need only to add @botname [optional profile name] to a post.
Implementation
The bot will detect posts created with the @botname mention and will parse out images that are in the post using the following regex /\!\[.*\]\(.+\)/g. It then appends the image markdown with an additional markdown table containing the EXIF information. The markdown template is built by providing EXIF tag data read from the image through handlebars templating engine.
