Much has changed since the last dev-log. I completely reworked the message display system. Messages now look way nicer, with reply messages and attachments being visible, and line splitting so the entire message is on screen at once. I worked out quite a few bugs with the proxy-server, created new discord demo servers for yall to explore, and removed some nasty race conditions from the application.

The UI now looks way better, you can actually read it at a glance due to the color coding nos. still some formatting issues to solve, but we’re getting there.

I added an at least readable UI (needs some improvement) and a very very helpful F1 page. I accidentally DoSed Discord because i fetched all messages from the current server 60 times a second. Oops :3

Some text wraps when it shouldnt, some text overlaps, some emojis dont get rendered, but thats all very solvable.

Created a Demo Version of the Bot and created a Discord Server for others to try it out.

Rewrote the install instructions, added a clearer project description, and made everything ready for release.

Added more states to the state machine, did some error handling for different terminal sizes and color support, and made a nice loading animation.

Spent some time learning the curses library, made some usefull helper functions, and made a simple State Machine System.

The Bot can now create voice messages based on a voice sample provided with the command. This allows it to imitate voices.

The Bot can now generate voice messages based on text using the Qwen TTS Models. It’s decently fast, taking roughly 7 seconds of compute time to generate 10s of audio on my 4 year old mid™ laptop.

The Bot can now generate Images on Command.

The bot can now recognize and react to images. This caused me a lot of headaches, probably worsened by the 6 cans of Monster i chugged.

The bot can now read messages the user replied to.

The bot can now search for images and send them with its message

The bot can now search the web and source news articles to provide better answers.

Designed an Icon and created a monochrome and rainbow version

The bot can now read more than one message, and can also send messages longer than the Discord message length limit by splitting them into parts.

Created a very basic discord bot using a quick start template from https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html and https://docs.ai.hackclub.com/#make-your-first-request.

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
