How do I create a bot?

allowed This is an array containing the Discord ID's of the users who can run commands. The bot will ignore messages from others.

How do I find my Discord ID?

Why did I make this?

I make bots. A lot of them. A lot of times I need to quickly open up my SSH client to check on a bot using pm2. It's easy enough, but could be done faster...

Enter exec, the node.js package which lets you run shell commands from javascript. This idea struck me randomly and I had to make it real.

So well, here we are. Managing bots from Discord itself, how good is that!
