 I'm really proud of this week.     Over the last week I managed to make the Automod,  work.  definitely wasnt as easy as I thought, but it works now. Join me through the thinking process and "Making it work" process in this blog. Maybe follow me on twitter? To be honest, setting up the database and caching was the hardest part. But this useful extension made everything so so so much easier. MUST HAVE Extension ( 1 ) for everyone working with #mysql on @VisualStudio This one allows you to connect to the database and edit, create columns/ rows without any code/minimal code!!! Also lets you backup your database, use pre-written SQL queries, view tables and much more pic.twitter.com/gx7cZZwmrd — Dhravya Shah (@DhravyaShah) February 6, 2022 You can follow me on twitter.

Rewriting SpaceBot p-2 This is just day 1 and I feel very confident, even though it's been a little difficult. I decided to start  with the bot in such a way that I can scale it almost infinitely, so I jotted down 5 things to do for the day: Complete the main file, Set up a good logging system, Decide a file structure for super clean code, Complete the fun cog WITH slash commands, and decide the database schema. All that, while travelling from Mumbai to Deolali  Do you think I managed to do it?

These are some criteria I put for myself Proper log levels On-point log messa...

Why Rewrite? The answer is very simple: I'm not really happy with the current state of Spacebot. Its growth is slowing down, I'm less motivated to work on the project because of just how basic it is. But this is gonna change now. Deciding the features I don't just want to make Spacebot multipurpose, I wanna make it a *good* multipurpose bot.  That is, every feature that I add to SpaceBot should also add a considerable amount of value to any discord community, which is what I think Spacebot lacked earlier. It has like 60 utility commands but most of them aren't done well. Spacebot has these features currently:  Very bad moderation  Very bad "Fun" commands  Kinda useful Utility commands but most aren't good  Kinda good Music system, I might just keep the music system as it is in the rewrite (with a few visual changes) And then there's button roles, Discord together and stuff. Which isnt really good tbh What I want to include in the rewrite: Moderation, A...
