Open sourcing our first version
Or the earliest version we have, at least.
Or the earliest version we have, at least.
I (Green) began work on Unifier on December 20, 2023, and successfully sent my first message through Unifier on 9:07PM CET. Surprisingly, I managed to both start and finish the first working version of Unifier on the same day, and also deploy it to production on the same day as well. Sure, I've made custom commands for Nevira all in one day before, but Unifier was a completely new bot using completely different parts of Discord's API, so this was quite impressive for me.
And as we grew, I kept updating the bot (although poorly), and then had ItsAsheer come join me and help me fix my shitty Python code I had in Unifier. Then I kept adding more features and optimizations, eventually getting to the point where we are now.
Unifier's all grown up and mature now, pretty much to the point that it might be one of the best, , cross-server and cross-platform bots on Discord. But we also want to treasure Unifier's first version, as it's pretty much our history and the place we started off on.
So starting today, we're making Unifier v0.1.0 open source on GitHub. We decided to open source this specific version, as we wanted to have some sort of "open museum" where anyone, including ourselves, can see the code we've written and look back at how far we've come as a community. It's poorly written, yes, but it's still a version we cherish and love.
We've licensed this version of Unifier under the GPLv3 license. If you wish to use the source code for whatever reason, please read the license carefully before doing so. Getting to learn this license would also be a good idea, especially since once we open source modern Unifier it will also be licensed under the same license.
