Nimwit discord bot

About

Nimwit is yet another general-purpose discord bot written in Nim. Most features are taken from my prior discord bot development ventures and also come from my friend group. If you have a feature request, feel free to open a GitHub issue! :)

Of course you can invite the bot to your server or add it to your apps (should be online pretty much 24/7).

Features

This bot features some silly/social stuff, like patting, booping, hugging, slapping other users, a basic currency system and basic logging things (users joining/leaving, message deletions/edits).

Compiling and Hosting

Compiling to an executable is very easy. Simply run make build or nimble build -d:ssl in your terminal. This will compile all nim source code into a single executable.

You will still need the public and private directories next to your executable though, as configuration and your token is stored inside there.

The install.sh script takes care of everything and sets up a systemd unit, that runs on system startup!
