Build a Discord Bot in Python with Hikari & Tanjun

Learn Hikari & Tanjun!

By Asterisk KatieKat

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 teaching you the libraries!
