Explore Discord server data and statistics

The information that Discord provides through Server Insights is inadequate for analyzing, reasoning about, and managing a complex Discord server.

We created discord-server-info to help alleviate that problem.

For example, let's say you manage a large Discord and decide you want to require all channels to have a description field so that other members can understand at a glance the purpose of the channel.

How can you find a list of all of the channels missing a description?

You'll have to go through them one-by-one. Good luck!

Or: you can use discord-server-info (once it's built) to generate that list for you!

To make this work, discord-server-info will need a few separate pieces:

• bot
• db
• app

bot is a Discord bot that reads data from the servers it's connected to and stores it in the db.

db is a Prisma database that provides an API for storing app settings and anonymized server data.

app is a Next.js application that allows users to authenticate with Discord and explore data from their servers.

If you're wondering why we need this structure rather than having the app read data directly from the Discord API, it's because the Discord API intentionally provides access to very little data. A bot account is required for full access.

This project will eventually be a monorepo with a package for each piece.
