Expanding the example bot section

[jchristgit]

The current "example bot" listing on the README would benefit from having more
bots than the existing ones listed. We have two small examples and bolt, which
is very big and complex and might not be very easy to understand for beginners.

Expand the list with other bots from our community.

Looking for bots that use nosedrum? I could probably update my example bot to be slightly more detailed. It uses nosedrum, and has a couple regular simple commands, and I could make a slightly more complex command that uses a genserver to run tasks in the background. Should demonstrate enough to get someone up and running with nostrum and nosedrum, both with text commands and application commands.

Hey, thank you for reaching out, this sounds good! I'm not sure you need to necessarily expand it to be more detailed if you don't need it. I'd be more than happy to include your bot as-is, all I'm looking for is to provide some more inspirations on how to build a simple bot with nostrum (and optionally nosedrum, like you do!). Do you have a link?

It's very basic atm and only deals with Application Commands. I'm planning on adding Text Commands but it's on the backburner atm as I have a couple of uni assignments to finish off over the next 10 days.

Ive also got a pretty small bot (iirc <200 lines) that I could put up on github for you, although it doesnt use nosedrum and just has some basic command handling done by hand.

Thank you! I've added this in PR #575.

We have the [example event consumer](https://github.com/kraigie/nostrum/blob/master/examples/event_consumer.ex) which I think does something similar, but maybe you have something more that you could add to it?

The docs are now more complete. We would still be happy to have more bots to add. If anyone has a bot they think serves a good example, please let us know!
