Converse from anywhere, anytime.
I was the lead developer behind Unifier, another open-source bridge bot. I discontinued it a while back because of burnout and didn't really intend to build another bridge after that.
But right after discontinuing Unifier, people suddenly needed reliable bridges from Discord more than ever due to recent events. While I didn't want to get back into working on bridges at first, it quickly became clear to me that this was too big of an issue to keep ignoring.
But I didn't want to revive Unifier. Its codebase is a mess. Trying to re-engineer it would be more of a hassle, and all previous attempts just further contributed to burnout. Working on it was simply unsustainable for me, even if it would've been best in the long run once I got the rewrite done and over with.
So I'm starting from a clean state and building a new bridge that better adapts to today's needs, that's also flexible and ready for the demands of tomorrow.
No (with an asterisk).
Shinobu is still in early alpha and many features are missing or incomplete. However, it has been tested in some communities and it has shown to be reliable enough for day-to-day bridging.
You can use Shinobu if you want, but please note support may be limited. Use at your own risk.
- Shinobu Runtime (core, secrets manager, debug tools, etc)
- Basic Discord cross-server bridge (v0.1)
- Fluxer support (v0.2)
- Stoat (formerly Revolt) support (v0.2)
- Bridge cache backup and restore (v0.2)
- Moderation & customization tools (v0.3/v1)
- Move development to bugfix and dev branches (v1)
- Spacebar support
- Matrix support (maybe?)
This is just a rough list of attributions, I'll do a proper one as I work on the project.
