BotMarker

GitLab

This bot can help you keep up with discussions or scenes in channels and threads! It lets you easily set a bookmark in any channel or thread. It creates a list of your bookmarks in your DMs, letting you quickly jump back to them whenever you need, complete with a counter showing how many new messages have been posted since you added your bookmark.

How to add the bot

You can click on this link to invite the bot to your server: BotMarker

Usage

Please keep in mind, that you can have one bookmark per channel or thread that you can move around or remove as you like. The purpose of BotMarker is not to compile a list of your favorite messages.

Please make sure that everyone who wants to use it allows direct messages from others or from server members in their privacy & safety settings. Otherwise, BotMarker will not be able to send the list of bookmarks to them.

/bookmark add

This command adds or moves a bookmark to the current channel or thread on the latest message. If you’ve caught up on everything that happened while you were away, just run this command again.

Message > Apps > Bookmark

Sometimes, you might find yourself needing to do a bit of back-reading and don’t have the chance to read everything all at once. If you right-click or hold on a message to open the context menu, you can go to Apps > Bookmark to bookmark that specific message. Through the list in your DMs, you can jump back to this message and continue reading, where you left off.

/bookmark remove

This command removes your bookmark for this channel or thread including the entry from the list in your DMs.

/bookmark bump

To reduce clutter and annoying notifications, BotMarker will only send an initial DM and then update it as needed. Unfortunately, this also means that BotMarker will move down in your contact list over time. If you’d like to move it back to the top, just run this command on any server where BotMarker is present.

/bookmark cleanup

It can happen that you lose access to a server or channel and are left with stale bookmarks. To clean those up, simply run this command on any server where BotMarker is available, and it will take care of it for you.

Disclaimer

BotMarker is a personal project of mine that’s still in its early stages and is fully open source. Should you run into any issues or have suggestions for additional features or improvements, I’d love to hear from you! You can reach out to me by opening an issue on Gitlab.
