Hermes Discord Bot

A Simple Discord Bot that sets memos to be sent at specific times.

Comment 2

Inspiration

We looked at the MCHack Discord server and we thought it would be awesome to set a bunch of messages to be sent at a specific time in the future. This would be helpful for channels like events or announcements

What it does

It allows the user to set a Memo to be displayed at a specific time. The Bot Hermes will save the memo and check when it is the right time to send the Memo in the channel set.

How we built it

We simply set up a Maven project with the Discord4J dependency to give life to the bot and have a solid library to do so.

Challenges we ran into

Coming up with an idea since it was our first Hackathon. We had to cut some features that included some APIs like OpenWeather or OpenCovid to display some data to the user. We wanted to be more than a memo. Distributing the task and not making it too heavy on one person was another challenge met since we have a difference in the skill ladder.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we managed to make something that actually works within Discord.

What we learned

We learned more about the Discord4J library and how to set up a maven project with it. We also learned how to cooperate using git.

What's next for Memo Discord Bot

Adding other features that include APIs/Frameworks/Libraries and Host the Bot on a server/local machine.

Clean the codebase and make better use of OOP.
