The bot will not be developed further as Discord have made significant changes to how commands will be working henceforth. Furthermore, the API endpoint this bot uses, and relies on, has been changed to a different version. To use this endpoint requires migration of the underlying Discord.JS library.
The repository remains publicly visible for anyone who wants to look at it.
Disclaimer — This is not a bot that does any kind of playing or listening of music. The only thing it does is reading your Rich Presence for Spotify plays. It does not track you unless you explicitly tell it to first.
For old v1 docs, see v1_docs.md.
The bot was made because Spotify's recently played was absolutely horrible, and at one point I really wanted to find back to a song I listened to. I assumed it'd end up in Recently played, but nooooo.
This is the v2 of the bot, based on a complete re-write. What about the old version? Well we sent that one to the shadow realm.

While the Bot was first and foremost inspired by Spotify's lacks, it was also inspired by a different open source bot called Basset for some of the commands. This bot seems to have had some of the same use as this bot, but was written in a language I am not able to work on top of.
