Devlog #2 - Meet Dave and the Deployment Struggle

I finally gave the bot a name, a fresh look, and a sassy personality.

This week I implemented Dave’s new pixel-art avatar, a /dsb-study timer, a shower thoughts command, and hidden Easter eggs that roast users in the chat.

The biggest challenge was deploying the bot 24/7. I struggled with cloud hosting because every time the server restarts, all the active study timers get completely wiped out.

Along the way, I became more comfortable using regex listeners and writing dynamic responses.

Next, I want to fix the deployment, connect a database to save timers, and smooth out API errors.
