We have previously shown how Hikari allows you to build simple GUI's with buttons1, but it can feel a little clunky to work with. That's because Hikari only covers the Discord API expects you to use handler libraries to fill the gaps. Hikari has an extremely active community, with …
We've produced a lot of helpful articles since the site was created! Articles that help explain Plurality with DID/OSDD, tutorials that teach programming, and a lot more. With more articles coming all the time, some places have found linking our articles a good way to provide manuals or tutorials …
Tanjun uses a lot of decorators! The decorators are wonderful in helping simplify and cut down how much code we end users have to write, but it can hide what's really happening. This post will walk you through making a slash command and slash command group with no decorators at …
We would much rather be making cool tutorials, streaming code, and making accessibility tools. Unfortunately we have bills and a job. Hopefully one day, with enough Patrons and donations this can be fulltime!
Tanjun and Hikari go through rapid development! With that come a lot of improvements even between articles. Here's a few quick tips that have changed that will streamline your code!
Let's look at a simple Tanjun plugin outline. First we define a new component, my_component on …
Tanjun uses a more functional approach than other Discord libraries. Functional in this post does not mean, provides more utility, but rather is written in a functional programming style. One good example is how hikari and Tanjun implement a Bot.
In other Discord libraries you create a new class that …
We've been running semi-large Discord Servers (25-32K) for about 7+ years now. Over that time we've tried all the popular bots. All of them had their pros and cons but none ever fit all of our needs. We often ended up having 6+ bots to …

Note: This is part 2 of an ongoing series! If you didn't see Part 11, make sure to read through it. It gives the basic setup for this project that you'll need. If you're already familiar with Hikari and Tanjun and want to get right into it, just clone …
A few months ago discord.py1 was the king of Discord Bots when it came to Python. Google "build a discord bot python" and chances are the tutorial would be about Dpy. Recently though Rapptz, the owner of Dpy, announced that he was no …
Discord.py archived so it's time to find a new Discord Bot library for Python! We searched for a few weeks and reviewed multiple projects. By the end Hikari and Tanjun looked most promising to us.
This series will start from scratch and slowly build a Discord Bot all while …
