April Bot
A Discord bot shaped around welcome images, role automation, and staff tools.
April started as a learning project and grew into a dashboard-first toolkit for communities that care about how members arrive and how staff keeps context.
Built around first impressions
April is not just a command list. It is a visual setup surface for servers that want onboarding, role flows, and moderation context to stay understandable.
Welcome images first
April is built around visual onboarding, from welcome images to messages that make a new member's first moment feel intentional.
Role flows without command chains
Reaction roles, selfroles, and autoroles help staff guide members into the right places without repeating setup work.
Server context in one dashboard
Logs, moderation helpers, analytics, and editor tools keep the daily server picture close to the people managing it.

From experiment to toolkit
April's history still shows in the product: practical tools, repeated rewrites, and a focus on making server setup easier to see.
Started small
April began as a private Blade & Soul utility running on a Raspberry Pi with a self-hosted database.
Kept returning
Waterball built and rebuilt the bot while studying computing, applying each new lesson back into the project.
Focused on servers
The game-specific commands gave way to welcome images, role automation, and dashboard tools for Discord communities.
