Dashboard#104

I highly recomend a dashboard because it gets chaotic managing all your settings with commands, i recomend a dashboard like dyno’s or mee6’s because they are pretty simple and understandable!

a dashboard for mimu lowkey makes no sense tbh as most of mimu’s commands for the ARs will be too hard to manage on dash lol

developer’s previous responses to this suggestion attached

new rewrite should better support a dashboard but no dashboard has been written or designed

with the addition of more people onto the dev team (or so it looks), maybe this will come to life again

dashboard is low priority

well, one can hope, esp since this is the feedback forum lol /gen

sharing some thoughts of a dashboard now.

• in the past, in 2021-ish, it really was not possible for us to have a dashbord. there was some limitations (that was lifted in the new rewrite) that would prevent us from having a dashboard.
• obviously, there was also the aspect of ‘oh its a lot of work tbh’ that we mentioned before.

however, this is what i feel about it now:

• there has been a lot of vulnerabilities with dashboards reported in the discord bot community as of late. like… a lot, actually ^-^’’ ~ some of these range from some people literally able to nuke/get admin in a server, to just resetting settings etc.
• dashboards are so annoying to open up from discord into web… ^-^’ you have to login, and if there’s authentication its even more annoying…
• dashboards store more information about you than you may think… more than a discord bot, and generally i want to give priority to privacy
• another issue is: if we make features, it would need to be accessible via command OR dashboard, adding another layer of complexity (i wouldn’t want existing users to have to relearn from scratch from dashboard)
• as a result of the above, and also the combination of my background not being in web, i’ve been trying to actually move away from web-based configurations and stuff unless i really need to ;v;

the good news is, discord has been making it easier to make the user interface a bit more easy to navigate and understand!! which makes it a bit easier for me as a developer to make the experience less confusing !
