User Facing

limitto 25 - Added a
hideoption to all word-fetching commands (enabled by default), allowing users to show the results of their queries - Re-added the word pronunciation mp3 file to the definition command
- Added autocomplete to the definition command
- display the first
ntrending Merriam Webster queries when you select the command - and autocomplete as you type your query
- display the first
- Added better downstream error handling instead of crapping out and saying "This interaction timed out."
- Revised and moved the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (thanks Chat GPT)
- Improved overall performance and response times
Technical changes
- Switched to Discord.js and sockets instead of receiving HTTP interactions (it's nice but I need some gateway stuff for metrics)
- thus ejecting Thothd, our gateway-only service for calculating guild count
- Switched to @yuudachi/framework for commandling
- Standardized the Datamuse API (this includes caching)
- Implemented a Discord webhook based command and server log
- Setup Promtail and Loki for logs via Grafana
