⚙️ The background

🤖 The discord bot

The rewrite started because of Discords announcement of slash commands. I had to redo the entire commands handler. At the time the announcement was very new and slash commands had still a lot of non-convenient things which I wasn't really a fan of. Because I was interested in Kotlin and was unhappy with the current code anyway, I decided to recode the discord bot in Kotlin. I only did this because the announced deadline for slash commands (the message intent) was pretty far away. So during the rewrite I switched to a new language. Still jvm but a bit more pretty i guess :).

🌐 The website

Even though I was proud of my static plain html, css, js side I knew i had to redo it too. The limit of slash commands was way too low to add all administrator commands as slash commands. And I think every good bot has a Web-dashboard. To be honest I hate web development but there was no way around it. After some research I decided to use a Javascript framework Svelt. It looked the closest to htm which I liked. With this the rewrite of the website started in parallel.
