Discord bot that insults/praises + more to your friends.

Throw a random insult/praise or just spice it up with a random/searched gif.

This little project started as something to insult friends with a random api. It since has become a fun project. I use it to learn and try new concepts while adding new features to the bot.

Please feel free to ping me with suggestions or requests!

Some highlights and things I've learned from this bot:

6 different API's (insult, praise, gif, cowspeak)

PostgreSQL queries to update and get statistics of bot

Learned/implemented about object oriented programming and polymorphism on statistics.js

Learned/implemented a command handler for ease of adding commands and just general code viewing

/8ball question
