Friskytool: Discord Bot

Friskytool is a public discord bot that I built during quarantine. I spent a lot of time into developing, deploying, advertising, analyzing, and scaling the bot's various services.

Discord is one of the top voice and text chat services on the web. It handles millions of users daily and has one of the most extensive chat-bot api's on the web. I chose to use it as it was a regular meeting place for my friends and I saw a lot of growth in the service.

Next.js has two forms of pre-rendering: Static Generation and Server-side Rendering. The difference is in when it generates the HTML for a page.

  • Static Generation is the pre-rendering method that generates the HTML at build time. The pre-rendered HTML is then reused on each request.
  • Server-side Rendering is the pre-rendering method that generates the HTML on each request.

Importantly, Next.js lets you choose which pre-rendering form to use for each page. You can create a "hybrid" Next.js app by using Static Generation for most pages and using Server-side Rendering for others.
