New Bot Rewrite And New Widgets!

Hello everyone, this time we're announcing the newest features: A newly rewritten bot and redesigned widgets!

Bot Changes

The specific feature set of the bot hasn't changed for now, but we do intend to add features later down the line.

New Widgets

Throughout the bot you'll see our new widgets being used!

Screenshot of an widget showing Dyno's server count over the last 3 years. The data shows a growth from round about 6 million, to 10 million.

These graphs were updated to closely match our current TopStats theming. A new feature was added, which now allows you to limit the widget to a specific timeframe from all-time to the last 6 hours!

If you want to create your own widgets, all you'll have to do is follow the template below and fill it with the details you'd like!

If you need any help creating your own widgets, then use our bot's /graph command! It'll help you pick all the relevant criterias you'd like.

The "graph" command of our bot, it displays various options which allow you to modify the values shown.

The Future

Rewriting our bot and the widgets, has allowed us to finally shut down the legacy DBL Statistics API and therefore also the last remaining pieces of our legacy Infrastructure! This means that we will have greater flexibility moving forward allow us to fully focus on new features!

In the meanwhile, we're always looking for feedback! If there's anything you'd like added to the bot, the widgets, or the site in general, please post in our suggestions forum on our Discord server.
