This is a great feature as it can be as simple or as complex as the implementer would like. and there are many ways to tackle this. This would be a great first issue for someone to get their feet wet with discord bots

Since nobody's commented on this one, I might try taking it on as my first try with making a cog and service. Though since I'm still fairly new to Python, I can't say whether or not I'd be successful in implementing something anytime soon.

Ohh perfect, i would def suggest looking into a library or api to do this for you, up too you which path you choose. feel free to ping me with any questions

Yeah, I'm sure Python has some sort of library out there that can handle the actual unit conversion formulas. Cause writing out each one by hand as individual functions sounds like a nightmare. I guess my job would just be coming up with a way to take user input, validate it, and feed it to the appropriate conversion function and display the output to the user.
