Discord Interactive Help
A smallish project making it easier to create an interactive bot in Discord.
Project
I created this project because it’s not the first time I needed to create a Discord bot, and everytime I struggle to find a way to make my bot’s command easy to use, and easy to access. So I made this project to make an interactive menu using the message and reaction system of Discord.
Furthermore, I realized I could improve the whole thing with input from users, making it even more interactive.
Experience
This project was truly interesting, because even if :
- the idea is nothing new : similar interactive menu idea existed already.
- the code itself is very short : 200 lines of code only.
Yet, developing this idea into a general framework that can be used by others needed a strong design.
It was also a great occasion for me to write a documentation describing the project (see the wiki pages)
Finally, it gave me the experience of releasing and maintaining a Pypi package.
