Library is unmaintained and does not support Slash Commands which appear to be the recommended approach to implement a bot.

You should also remove Sword, it's archived I believe. |

brO IT WAS JUST ANNOUNCED CALM DOWN |

In my discussion I mentioned that it would be nice for discord to look at this "curated" list and their commitments to it, so im going to plug it here because it's partially relevant. Again any guidelines from discord on when something should be removed would be nice. |
|
this PR was unbelievably fast to appear |
|
@msciotti would appreciate a reason here -- seems odd that y'all on your own site are linking to libraries that implement bots using messages rather than Slash Commands given you're encouraging devs to switch to those, and these libraries are all completely archived and unmaintained? |
|
There's multiple libraries on that list less compliant than d.py |
|
this PR removes all of the archived repositories, none of the other repos are archived |
|
@Mehgugs For sure, I think your discussion definitely captures the wider issues with the list as a whole, its in an odd state of affairs it seems |
what do you mean by "odd state of affairs?" it's not like slash commands came out two years ago and are already widely implemented |
|
It clearly states it's curated around
It doesn't even mention if the full API is implemented as being a condition to be in the list. Not sure why you'd assume since a library is archived that it would no longer meet their standards of rate-limiting and authentication. Whether it implements parts of the API that a user needs is up to them to figure out, not saying whether that is good or bad, but these libraries technically meet the requirements to still be on that list. Word for word from the page:

No one knows what the standards are definitively. As far as I am aware it's a less strict version of the discord api guild's library developer requirements that is informally checked with common sense. |
|
Calm down bro, what the fuck do you want? |
This PR removes discord.py, disco and Sword from the community resources libraries list as the libraries are unmaintained (GitHub repos have been archived) and they do not provide an interface for Slash Commands, which appears to be the recommended approach to implement a bot on Discord now.
