Hacktoberfest with Robo.js: Build Bots or Plugins & Win Stuff!

October is here, and with it comes Hacktoberfest! WavePlay is thrilled to be part of this coding fiesta, inviting you to play around with Robo.js, our slick Node.js (& Bun) framework for spinning up epic bots — aka Robos - using Discord.js! 🚀

With Robo.js, creating commands is remarkably simple, often just requiring a single line of code. Expanding your bot’s functionality with a range of plugins is also straightforward using the robo add <plugin> command. TypeScript is fully supported, and starting your project only needs npx create-robo <name>, followed by robo dev to launch it!

How to Participate

Join the fun by developing a unique Robo.js plugin, building a bot, or even contributing to the source code or existing official plugins! Your creative freedom is vast, and here are some ideas to get you started:

Plugin Ideas

• Emoji Reaction Plugin: Add a layer of fun with emoji-based reactions.

• Trivia Game Plugin: Introduce competitive trivia games to servers.

• Music Control Plugin: Allow users to control and play music within servers.

Bot Ideas
