Discord?
Wouldnt it be nice to make this program a discord bot?
Right now this program is not really meant for "regular" users so wouldnt it be nice to turn this into a discord bot so more people can use what we have developed?
If you want to go a different route than webhooks, you may be able to implement something like this:
https://docs.stillu.cc/guides/getting_started/first-bot.html
If we had something like that, we could tie it to an AI and create a chat or QnA bot:

Yeah that was exactly what i was thinking about, do you think it would be a good idea to rewrite the program and make it a propper discord bot?
Could the new bot be created as a utility and built out on its own?
Trying to keep this as an open playground that anyone can add to.
We could make a "main project" which contains all the discord related stuff and then a "module" project which contains all the commands and functionallity. That would still allowe people to easily add new module / functions.
What do you think about that?
@AlexGipp I think that we could combine both approaches. From my perspective we could slightly reorganise solution with a following structure:
- UtilityBelt.Core
This layer will contains all main thing. For instance logging, how we load utilities and so on. Also core utils could lives here.
- UtilityBelt.Console
This will be good old console app with existing command line interface.
- UtilityBelt.DiscordBot
Will be your implementation of app functionality for Discord
What do you think about?
the thing is that all the modules dont return a string for example, they all Console Writeline so we would definetly rewrite those a bit @ArturLavrov
@aherd2985 i think the smartest thing would be to just create a second branch for the rework
Great idea @ArturLavrov
That approach would be more scalable and keep the spirit of it being open-ended.
I'd like this repo to have a solid foundation that encourages modular building. Hopefully we can keep it easy for contributors but also versatile enough to support growth in any direction.
