HiveBotPH Updates And Some Ramblings Of A Dev
Recently @jazzhero has given me access to the tools that HiveBotPH is using. If you notice the bot is down, you can ping me in discord so I can investigate and fix it for you. Jazz has been busy lately with real life stuff so he can't give out his 100% to the bot he made.
If you don't know what HiveBotPH does, you can read previous posts from @jazzhero or maybe you can read this latest post from @adamada.
Recently DiscordJS released v14 but our bot is still using v12. It's a big transition and for sure, there will be breaking changes. We are planning to code from scratch and not just update the code. It's also a good opportunity to improve the code. I heard from jazz that the code has 3,000 LOC (lines of code). That's a lot actually. I'm not sure yet why but I think it can be improved. I just hope I can really improve it.
Aside from updating the bot to the latest DiscordJS version, we're also planning to move the bot from Heroku to Google Cloud. I don't think the bot is that big that we will be over the free tier. This is yet to be done, probably next month when I have my own laptop.
Actually I don't have a laptop right now. I just gave out my mac book to my brother who lives in the Philippines so he can use it for his thesis. Currently I am using my boyfriend's mac book so I can at least do small stuff that requires me to use a laptop. I also don't want to use my work laptop for the bot because it's the company's laptop. LOL
But don't worry, come October I would be ordering my new laptop. Not yet sure which of the 2 should I get, the Pro or the Air but my mind is already set to get the latest mac book. I know it's a luxury to get it, but I can't imagine myself being back to windows after I have seen the convenience of using a mac book.
Actually I am already using Google Cloud for a sample bot I created that's using DiscordJS v14. It's just really a simple bot, nothing fancy. I was just testing out if we can use Google Cloud as an alternative to Heroku. And it seems to be going well so we'll probably put the new HiveBotPH in Google Cloud.
And yessss, you read it right!
It's going to be the new bot. It's like v2 of HiveBotPH but we will be using a different name. More like a new sibling has been born. And the older sibling has to retire. 😅 At least that's what I am imagining.
It's also a good rebranding of the bot. It still works now but we want to add more features to it. Actually, @adamada wants to add more features. He's like my client that wants a lot of stuff. 😂 But yeah, I also think it's good to add more features to it. He thinks, I'll code. Or maybe @jazzhero can help me code too. (Don't leave me coding all alone jazz!)
Since we're in the topic of rebranding, I haven't decided actually what the name of the sibling bot is. I'm in a dilemma choosing between the names Kem-Bot and BatiBot.
Kembot is a Filipino term that literally means shaking of the hips. Recently it's been associated with the word twerking so to kembot means to twerk.
BatiBot is a famous Filipino TV show from the past, I forgot, 90s or maybe older. It's an educational show and its target audience are the kids, so we can learn while also being entertained. I tried checking the meaning in Tagalog.com and it means enduring or strong. (I'm a Bisaya so I don't know if this is true). LOL
Soooo...
Can you help me decide which of the 2 names should I name the newest bot of HivePH? Of course, as I have said earlier, we want to add more features to this new bot so it's not just going to be limited to the usage of the HivePH community.
I would probably need a new logo for this bot too. I'm not artsy so I have no idea what to do with this. Probably if someone could help me with it, then great! If not, then I'll just probably look for a way to generate a cute logo.
In the next month, when I get my new laptop, I'll start working on these things so it would be a busy Autumn and Winter for me. Even if I'm here on Hive, I still have my real life goals and bucket list to accomplish so it may be a slow progress but it's progress.
It's also my first time to code a discord bot and it's really an exciting thing for me. If I have questions and stuck on something, I think I'll be asking around some people here on Hive. 🙏 yoroshiku onegaishimasu
I'm so excited to see the new bot come to life, with more added features! Aren't you? 😅
That would be all. I realized I have said too much. It was supposed to be a small update on my end. LOL
If you reached here reading, thank you!
See you around! じゃあ、またね！
Wow! witty good to know you are making bot and working on hivebotph project..All the best.
Let me check what does it do🤔
Thanks @th4488!
It’s going to be busy going forward but I’ll post blogs too even when I’m twerking on the bot 😅
This is exciting! We use this bot in TheTerminal server, although it's in a channel that only Staff can access. I think it's really cool that you're using your brains for some dev work now! Kudos! 😁
Really? I am amazed that the bot is being used in the server! 😁
OMG That kinda gave me a lot of pressure right now but it's really good pressure. That means I need to twerk better 😅
Though I am a 90s kid I love the sound of kembot. It sounds fun and relatable to everyone specially new gen since they love twerking hahah.
True! 😅
Kembot is leading so far so maybe I'll go with this name soon. 😅
Wow! You're working on cool stuffs such as that miss witty..I can relate to the first name and it's nice . As for the second one ..I'm not familiar with it so I might search about it 😁..
Hoping that the sibling will be born soon.yiee.
Keep on doing cool stuffs and more power cause that's a lot of codes..hihi
Thank you!
Gagalingan ko. Ang hirap lang mg analyze but I'll really do my best!
Dami kasing lines hahaha Pero oks lang naman
Wow thats a lot of stuff! Good luck sa coding sakit nyan sa brainscells at sa bangs.
I like them both but I'll go for Kembot...its the same with the discords bot no?
Kembot is leading ah, parang mahilig talaga mag twerk ang mga tao 😅
Sakit sa braincells but I think it’s fun! Plus new learning!
Yes nakakatuwa at enjoying magcoding basta at the end gagana hirap magproofing 😢😢😢
hahaha dapat gumana talaga to
I was interested in discord bots for a while and this is one of the best bots I've seen. The bots I've seen are usually the ones that play songs xd.
Hahahaha! Hydra? 😂
I think you should check out how to make one!
I'll check because it is so cool. Isn't it?
Both Kembot and Batibot have meaningful connotations about the bot. Kembot sounds like a modern generation bot and at the same time portraying the swaying of the hips with the famous Filipino expression, “Kunting kembot na lang” most especially when composing a blog. On the other hand, Batibot is something that is educational. I belong to the 90s generation so I have watched this educational series. As for me both names of the bot are really very nice, but I would always prefer Kembot as it sounds chill and cool. Like whenever I saw it responding to me like, “Hi pinkchic,” I felt like it is a very enthusiastic bot that is always there for me in a click. It would kembot for me just to be there. Hehe. I love you witty! @wittyzell i-kembot mo na yan.
Appreciate your thoughts @pinkchic!
Napa isip tuloy ako 😅
labyuuu too! gagalingan ko pag kembot 😅
Hehe. Go witty! Moral support here. Kembot ka muna bago dev. Hehe
Thanks for sharing your Discord bot plans. Good luck with the upgrade/rewrite!
Thanks a lot! I'll try my best!
Wow you're smart and intelligent @wittyzell. I am hoping for the best for you as you do the coding. I know it is not that easy but I know you can do it! Ajah.
Im in 90s but I am not familiar with the Batibot, might be because we don't have television back then and even now, lol.
In terms of remembering the name, I like more Kembot as we do it most of the time hehehe. But if we look at the meaning, Batibot is more meaningful.
Anyway, bati means pangit in ilonggo dialect if I'm not mistaken, lol.
Good luck witty.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts @jenthoughts!
Really appreciate it.
TBH I haven't watched batibot when I was younger too, but it's a famous show. When I was a young kid, I always go out to play and not watch TV 😂
Yeah bati means ugly or not good so yeah I'll try to put that to mind too when I decide the name. Thank you!
Lol, ayaw na lang siguro ang bati kay mura man pud ug bati hehehe anyway this is just to make you smile or even laugh hehehe
Thank you! It definitely made me smile. 😉
Kembot is fine . naalala ko tuloy yung batibot 🤣...
Mukhang busy kyo ah hehe..
Hahaha! Tayo lang ata nakaka relate sa batibotn😅
Batang 90s kasi 🤣
Those two names are great but I like kembot more haha since we all twerk there 😂 Good luck, witty! Kayang kaya mong I-kembot yan 💕
Hahaha! Kembot is leading. Hilig mo ata talaga mag twerk, C! 😅
Gosh! That's awesome miss @wittyzell. I believe that you'll finish it sooner and I think the best name for the bot is Kem-Bot since we like to twerk. Lol! 3k LOC is definitely a long codes. Hard to pin rewrite and update some of them if ever. Break a leg!
Uu nga eh kaya you should help me out na talaga 😂
Hahaha gagalingan ko mag twerk
Gosh! How I wish I can help you with that miss. I'm very limited today eh. uwu.
Hahaha okay lang denn, I know you’re already so busy twerking 😅
Thats so good for you my dear friend my cellphone has very low memory so I was forced to uninstall discord 😔😔
Oh really? That's too bad actually. You can still access discord on the web if you have a pc or laptop so you can still pop and say hi to us. 🙂
None din po yung 2 Smartphone which is mine and my son has 2/16 memory yung sa daughter ko lang po malaki Ang memory pero gamit Nya sa school syang tlaga kasi sa discord pwde mag endorse Ng blog 😔
Sayang talaga! Pero sige lang, basta may hiveph or philippines tag ka, at least kta pa rin naman namin 🙂
Slamat po sis God bless po 💖
Kembot and lets all twerk hehe. Wow the genius witty and the new bot, yiee gawang Pinoy always the best.
Hahaha! Hilig mo mag twerk talaga yonong ha 😂
Thank you! Gagalingan ko 😅
Since I love to dance and make kembot all the time, I am gonna go for Kembot! Apakalaking Tulong ko di ba. LOL
Looking forward to which one you gonna make @wittyzell. Apakatalented talaga!
!PIZZA
Hahahaa Natatawa ako sa reason behind pero tama nga naman. Baka nga kembot na name nito 😂

Yieee exciting stuff on the server. It was a funny time when we threw different names for our bot HAHA! Fighting, witty-sama!
Hahaha! Everybody really has a lot of funny ideas 😂
Looking forward to the new big brother / sister. The current one has served us well and made our life a lot easier, but as users, we always want more. Now you have mentioned on the chain that you're doing the new one, there's no getting out. The clock is ticking!!!!! 😉
Joking, thanks for all the work you guys are doing!
Oh nooo! Mentioning it on chain is not a good idea because I would be held accountable for it. Adamada was so persistent in telling me to make a post about it. 😂 It puts a lot of weight on my shoulders but it's fine.
It's about time to add more features to it anyways.
As a user, I completely understand. I for one want to have more features added to the bot.
Thank you! I'll try my best to make the sibling bot a better one!
For me Kembot will be a better name, rather than Batibot. Once you started the commission work with Adam for sure that there's multiple projects that you will be connected to. This will be a never ending rabbit hole that you will just be tied with. Is it is bad thing? Only you can decide for that.
I am excited on the new features to be added and with the incorporation of your thoughts and personality for sure the bot will be a great help with our community and the other communities that it is being used to.
Great job Witty - witty da best.
Di ko rin alam TP, para ngang it's a never ending rabbit hole. dami pa naman demands ni client hahaha pero oks lang if i have time to spare naman.
tp the best pa rin oi hahaha
No! That is great! This sounds like fun for you! :)
BTW... You are a great sister sending your Macbook to your brother! ❤️
Thank you @dswigle!
It is fun to discover new stuff and when I like what I'm doing 😁
Thank you!
What about Batibot? I also searched for the meaning of the word and it says small but strong and robust. Parang it describes the Filipinos with the word strong and robust, pwede ding maliit 🤏, chos hahaha.
Hahahahahaha I know what you mean! 😂
So far, you're the only one suggesting to use batibot. It has a deep meaning true but someone said "bati" from batibot means "not good" or "bad" in bisaya eh, kaya ayown parang na convince naman ako. hahaha
Ohh, if bati means bad in bisaya, I'll go with kembot so it will sound more inclusive hahaha
Oh sorry for late sharing of thoughts, you know signal problems😂.
I like Kem-bot too. Cause sounds motivating to me.
Like sige, girl konting kembot pa, maachieve mo din na maging ok ang acct mo here sa Hive
Pero sana all batang 90's pa😀😅
Hahaha! Kembot is so modern din kasi noh. I think I might have to go with that since almost everybody voted for it.
I think Bulbul botbot is a better name lol
HAHAHAHAH HOOOY AKUMA 🤣
just go wittybot. witty bot witty bot.
Hahaha! Yung gusto kong witty bot yung pang hiveph lang na server eh
itong new bot ginagamit kasi sa ibang servers
😅
Ahhhh, you have a lot on your Hands wititit, why not Wittybot nalang kasi, like witty talaga sya, ehe
Charizzz but I also like Kembot, much cooler and maganda sya sa pandinig. Lika hala bira, e kembot na yan at ng makipon ng maraming kwarta UwU. Good Luck madam wititit, hangad ko ang happiness mo.
Did you manage to get a new laptop yet? I promised myself that my next one will be a mac book too. Still using my 9 years old HP at the moment ;)
I like BatiBott. Which one did you go for?
I went with Kembot~ Many voted for it 😅
I got my new laptop already. I'm using it for the development of the bot. It's not still finished but I'm doing it in my free time. Been busy with my main work lately so I got little time to do it. 😅
You've got your clever hat on :D
Weee! Not really but thanks!
We need more female devs in crypto space. All female devs I know are relaliable and never rug ;)
