Discotron
Modular Discord bot supporting plugins hosted on git repositories.
Introduction
Usually, a Discord bot has a certain set of commands which are available to everyone part of a certain role in a server. They are not very configurable, and to get the desired results, you usually end up adding many different bots to your server instead.
Discotron aims to solve this problem by allowing you to construct a single bot which can be customized over a web interface - the dashboard. It'll be made up of multiple plugins which each have a certain feature set. This bot can then be invited to one or more servers, where it can then be further customized for each server individually (disable certain plugins, change their command prefix, select roles etc.).
Because of this modular design, you can either use a Discotron instance hosted by someone else, or create your own if you like. By default, the server admins can access their own server on the dashboard to then configure the bot to their likings.
