What

The discord bots I made were normally created for some kind of automated access control based on stripe subscriptions and discord roles.

When

I mostly created these bots between 2018-2021, back when I was still very much into sneaker culture and was part of quite a lot of sneaker betting groups.

Why

I occasionally found myself either needing to create a Discord bot for myself, check out my Neutrino project, or for other servers that wished to do the same.

How

The discord bots were normally written in Python/Typescript and then deployed to Heroku. There was a great Discord Bot library called discord.js that did quite a lot of the work for me.

The next step was to have a server endpoint that could listen to stripe webhook changes and handle adding or removing roles on the Discord server.

Conclusion

Overall making these Discord bots was pretty easy, but I learned how to deploy to Heroku and all the fun things you can do with the Discord bot API.
