FAQs

• Hmm. What's this?

This is the Neofetch bot, a really cool bot that allows you to view your Discord information, right in Discord, neofetch style. Complete with fully customizable prompts and ascii distros, this is every developer's dream come true.

• Why would I even need this?

Because everybody absolutely loves Neofetch, a command-line tool that displays your system information. This bot is a hobby project of mine, and I, inspired by the orginal CLI tool, wanted to make a visual Discord version of it.

Also you get to show off your favorite distro (looking at you arch btw users).

• How does it even work?

Alright, so Discord recently added ANSI escape codes to codeblock messages, which means that you can 'colorize' your output an style it whichever way you want. This bot takes advantage of this feature, and works around with the color codes using chalk to produce a neofetch-like colored output.

Unfortunately, mobile support for ANSI codes haven't been added yet, but fear not! There's a button called --mobile that outputs a mobile friendly view of the information. Alternatively, you can use the /neomobile command too!
