A Discord bot that teaches tactical brevity codes used in military aviation—complete with definitions, quizzes, and optional images. Automatically fetches 500+ terms from Wikipedia and posts them on a customizable schedule per server.
- Automatic Daily Posts — Schedule brevity terms to post automatically at custom intervals
- Manual Posting — Request the next term on demand
- Smart Rotation — Never repeats terms until all have been posted
- Wikipedia Integration — Automatically fetches and caches 500+ terms from official sources
- Term Lookup — Search and define any term without marking it as used
- Multiple Choice Quizzes — Test your knowledge with randomly generated questions
- Two Modes:
- Public Mode — Compete with friends in a timed channel poll
- Private Mode — Take quizzes solo with ephemeral responses
- Greenie Board — Track your last 10 quiz scores with a naval aviation-style performance board
- Flexible Scheduling — Set post frequency to any interval (default: 24 hours)
- Per-Server Settings — Each Discord server maintains independent configuration
- Enable/Disable Posting — Pause and resume automatic posts anytime
- Channel Assignment — Choose which channel receives the daily posts
