Features

Anon.y provides the following features:

• Allow users to send anonymous messages to any server the bot is added to

Upcoming features:

• The bot automatically deletes messages after a set period of time to ensure privacy
• The bot uses unique message IDs to ensure that users can only delete their own messages
• The bot uses a custom command prefix that can be easily changed
• The bot supports multiple languages

Basic bot permissions

Just like any other bot, Anon.y needs some basic discord permissions to function properly:

• Read Messages/View Channels
• Read Message History
• Send Messages
• Send Messages in Threads
• Use Slash Commands
• Create Public Threads
• Create Private Threads
• applications.commands

Installation and Setup

To install and set up Anon.y, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository from GitHub

2. Install dependencies by running npm install

3. Create a .env file with the following environment variables:

   DISCORD_SECRET_TOKEN=<your Discord bot token>
   BOT_PREFIX=!anon
   

   • DISCORD_SECRET_TOKEN is the token for your Discord bot. You can obtain this token from the Discord Developer Portal.
   • BOT_PREFIX is the command prefix for the bot. This can be changed to any prefix of your choosing.

4. Start the bot by running npm run dev

Usage

To use Anon.y, users can send messages in the following format:

/anon <message>

• message is the message that the user wishes to send anonymously

For example:

/anon This is an anonymous message.

The bot will send the message to the specified channel, and the bot will notify the user that the message was sent

Screenshots

Finding the slash command Sending the slash command Bot is computing the response Bot has successfully sent the message anonymously

!! Upcoming !!

To delete an anonymous message that you have sent, use the following command:

/anondelete <message ID>

• message ID is the unique ID assigned to the anonymous message when it was sent

For example:

/anondelete 123123123123

Architecture

Anon.y is built using the following technologies:

• TypeScript for code organization and type safety
• Discord.js library for interacting with the Discord API
• dotenv library for loading environment variables from a .env file

The bot follows a simple architecture where messages are sent to Discord channels by calling the discord.js API, and anonymous messages are not currently stored on a database. In the near future, the bot will use unique message IDs to allow users to delete their own messages, and messages are automatically deleted after a set period of time to ensure privacy.
