I wanted to use discord as a place to dump coding memes, notable application I discover, and interesting libraries. However I dislike discord’s search system and wanted to have the channels slightly more accessible and indexable by search engines so I created this generated static site using eleventy which starts up a temporary discord bot to fetch messages from specific channels.
Demo (feel free to scroll through memes and links):
Features:
-
Image attachments are embed via proxy
-
Uses channel ids so you can change your channel names if needed and the new names will also be synced.
-
Separation of dark theme code from essential code (inspired by glitch in bio themes)
-
Smooth scrolling for links to the site that reference a specific channel or message
-
You can have the page scroll to a specific channel by either referencing it’s name
#intresting-libraries-and-frameworks
or it’s id memes channel. -
Allows linking messages by their id
Discord to the public web!
Customisation and setup
- Go to discord.com/developers and make a new application with a bot and put the token in .env
- Invite the bot to your server and make sure it can read messages
- Configuration of channels can be done in config.js under
src - For in depth configuration of the html structure take a look at
index.hbsinsrc - For css changes either make a new folder in
publicor append toglobal.css - The dark theme code is
