Chronos

This is a smart discord bot built especially for students to stay organized by creating reminders and to do lists; with an integrated feature of a simple calculator.

The problem Chronos solves

We, as students, know how hectic it could be to manage all the different assignments we get, the tests we have to take and all the competitions or hackathons that we are encouraged to participate in. It sure can get hectic! Therefore, keeping in mind the increased usage of Discord in our everyday life, we decided to make a bot that can help us, and our fellow students, keep organized and even offer a space to relax in the middle of our busy schedule!

Features 🪶

Our bot can do all the following things with scope for more to come!

  • 📋 Add reminders in catagories of education, health or any thing else
  • ⏰ The reminders can be set for any time of the day
  • 🧮 Help users with simple math!

Challenges we ran into

Being completely new to the world of Discord Bots and they're potential, we faced some troubles in implementing the ideas that we set out for.

  • We used replit IDE to test the bot live , it was a completely new environment and after few testings it blocked us temporarily from using there API we had to rewrite the code in a different file and restart the bot again and this worked
  • For the reminder feature ,we used a variable to find current time using datetime module but it wasn't showing the correct time due to which the feature wasn't working. We then updated the current time finding function to find the time for a specific timezone and it worked
