If you want to work together on the bot I am writing, it would be a big help! We could definitely work something out, if you know much about Node.js and have experience working with APIs. The Discord API is not complicated, and the Discord.js wrapper makes it nice and easy to work with. If you are interested, send me a friend request on Discord. zmontgo#0001
Currently working on setting it up and considering writing a wrapper for the WK API in Node. The biggest issue of the whole project, of course, is caching, but that’s the issue with anything to do with an API, so it’s whatever. Once we get a system down to handle talking to WK and not spamming it with requests but not handling outdated data, then it’s just sending it in pretty messages on Discord. I’m using MongoDB to handle all database stuff. It’s fast, scalable, simple (it stores it in JSON), and pretty reliable. I haven’t had an issue with it, and with regular backups I see absolutely no reason not to.
(I’m also going to post this over on WaniKani Discord Bot (Unaffiliated))
