The Tadoku application is the webapp for the ReadMOD foreign language reading contest. The application is automatically managed for the most part using a predefined schedule to know when to allow, and disallow submissions. The bot portion of the application reads the TadokuBot mentions and parses submissions using hastags similar to a command-line system. After being parsed the bot/app calculates the participants new score based on the language, medium, and amount read and tweets their new score and rank.
