Nothing big but I built a Discord bot using discord.py[0] that reads a game's presence. It notifies me when a dungeon run is about to end.

I didn't have any Python experience but it was surprisingly easy to pick up (MVP in an hour). Wrote it in notepad, which, imo, was a distraction-free experience. Prolly would be scrolling autocomplete than reading docs if I was in nvim. Took me back when I was used to completing coding exercises on paper.

If there is an implementation to read presences without using Discord client, let me know. Would be helpful to skip Discord altogether.
