Many people who use Discord send links from external sites. Though some sites may force the user to log in to see the content, which may just be a few lines of text or a short video. There are "fixer links" such as fixupx and vxtiktok which allows the content to be seen in discord without needing to log in or even click on the link.
It can be annoying to remember all the fixer links, especially since they may not be supported anymore. This bot cuts out the user needing to edit links by sending the "fixed" link whenever someone sends a support list.
Here is a list of all the sites that are supported and the bot will look out for
- Twitter/X
- Tiktok
These are steps for develoeprs who want to contribute to the bot. Please send an issue and we'll have a conversasion of your idea and if it fits the purpose of the bot. If/When you have a pr ready, please target the develop branch and not master.
