The Best Bot!
Flurby is the best bot and you can't change my mind.

Introduction
Flurby is a Discord bot that I started working on in December 2020. He's a side project to experiment with JavaScript and Node.js, as well as to get some practice reading through API documentation. I used the Discord.js module to help with interacting with the Discord API .
We started making heavy use of Discord in the Spring '20 semester at UAFS when COVID-19 attacked, so I figured it would be a good time to start a project that was relevant and could possibly be of use to the computer science department. For now, Flurby lives in my personal Discord server with all my friends. Once I get enough features added and all the bugs sorted out, I may open him up to be invited to other servers.
Features
Flurby has a small set of features at the moment.
- Give magic 8-ball answers
- Fetch GIFs according to keyword(s) using the Tenor API
- Maintain a music playlist for playback in voice channels when users provide YouTube/YouTube Music URLs
- Roll dice in a given range a given number of times
I'll continue to add more as I learn about the Discord API and webhooks.
