• dyno-status serves as an easy way to check the real time status of the public version of Dyno, instead of having to visit their status page
• Every 20 seconds, dyno-status will send an API request to the status page, fetching the most recent information available. After the information has been received, dyno-status will translate the information relayed into an embed which looks something like this:
• An API request is sent every 20 seconds and the latest information from the API is updated every 15 seconds. So when a status update is fetched, you will see the uptime jump 15 seconds each refresh rather than 20 seconds. This is not something to worry about

• I wanted a way of easily accessing the real time connection status of Dyno with Discord, and the best way is to check the platform you're using, Discord
• Doing support, if someone reports an offline server, it takes time to grab their server ID, load the status page and verify what cluster/shard the server is on. Having a bot which has the latest information for you makes this so much more easier
• I wanted to get myself involved in more JavaScript
• I was bored. No joke. I had nothing to do.

• Although I am a Trusted member of Dyno, Dyno has no affiliation or relation with this project in any way. This was my own personal project, and I may remove this repository at the developer's request.
• The bot was built on Node.js 10.16.0 LTS. I will support Node versions 10+, however if bugs occur on versions below Node 10, I will not fix them. However, if you wish to fix any bugs relating to this, feel free to make a PR.
