Inspiration

Sometimes when talking too my friends about coding, they bring up packages I'm completely unfamiliar with. I thought it would be nice to have some way of seeing an overview of the package so I could get an understanding of it, and if I liked what I saw, a way to get started with it.

What it does

Hacker-bot is very simple. Given a package/program name, it pulls up a summary of the package, it's creator, and it's logo.

How I built it

I built the bot using the discord.js framework, which is used for creating almost all JavaScript based discord bots.

Challenges I ran into

Since this was my first time making a discord bot, some parts of the project took me a lot longer than expected, causing me to scrap some of the ideas I wanted to implement. I spent a lot of time watching tutorials and on the discord.js documentation getting the basic framework to work.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This was the first hackathon I submitted a project to! The other ones I've been too were just me learning about coding.

What I learned

I learned effectively how to use discord.js to display information in a discord bot, and I feel like my time management has improved significantly.

What's next for Hacker-bot

I wanted to add a profile system which would allow hackers to see shared interests, however I did not have enough time to do so in this time frame, so that's next on the list!
