What is v4?

[oliverbooth]

BrackeysBot v4 is a from-scratch rewrite of the bots that power the official Brackeys Community Discord server. The goal of this project is to separate functionality into single-purpose bots to reduce the chance of rate limits being hit and increase redundancy.

BrackeysBot v3 implemented functionality using a single bot, and none of the staff were willing to work with the codebase as it had become too unwieldy to do so. This project aims to simplify* the development process.
