Bot that comments on PR saying things like "10,000 people have viewed this"

Should this be an integration with Github? Where we track views of a PR on from Github or is there a plan to show PR s in the news site?

[QuincyLarson]

@TheHollidayInn I don't think many people will view the GitHub PR itself. I just thought GitHub would be a reliable place to notify contributors that their piece had been viewed a certain number of times. The views will be of the story itself, on news.freecodecamp.org.

[TheHollidayInn]

Ah, I think I see what you mean. So the story is:

1. a user contributes an article via this github repo
2. a bot listens to listen events from news.freecodecamp.org
3. when a listen count gets to a certain point, post in the PR that the user contributed

Does that sound correct?

[QuincyLarson]

@TheHollidayInn Yes - that sounds accurate!

There are a few things that we would probably need to build first, so I think this is some functionality we could add later. I'd hate for us build this out and then discover that an architecture change downstream undid our work on it. So I think we should add the "blocked" tag for now, and we can tackle this one later.
