Hi, I'm the developer behind Booversum. π No company, no team - just me, a lot of ideas and a lot of love for this little bot. Grab a seat, let me tell you how it all happened. πΏ
Booversum started really small: a chat and voice level bot. You talk, you hang out in voice, you level up. That was it - and I was so proud of it. π Seeing the first people level up made my day, every single time.
One of my very first level-ups. German only, one message, done. My old bot account doesn't even exist anymore - that's how long ago this was. π»
Chat and voice weren't enough for me. I wanted to see who's really active - who loves to stream, who turns their camera on, how much time you all actually spend together. So I gave stream and camera their own levels too.
And then? Still not enough. π I wanted levels that travel with you from server to server - so I built a global level system, completely separate from every server's own levels. Your server rank and your global rank, side by side.
This is what it looked like back then: an early /rank with server ranks and my global rank. Progress bars made of dashes included - I loved them. π
Booversum is 100% selfmade. Every feature, every page, every single line - built by me, with a lot of love. π
Along the way I broke things. A lot of things. π I rebuilt the whole bot from scratch and taught myself things I never thought I'd understand - databases, servers, websites, security. Some days nothing worked, and I just kept going.
Because then someone levels up. Someone's server is ready in two minutes. Someone writes "this bot is actually really good" - and every hard evening is worth it. That's why I do this. π
Chat, voice and stream levels - and already my global rank. German only, progress bars made of dashes. My little beginning. π±
booversum.com went online! Just a simple page - no dashboard, no login. But it was mine, and I was so proud of it. ππ
My old bot had reached its limits. So I took a deep breath and rebuilt Booversum from the ground up - new code, new structure, built to grow. π¨
My website grew up: now you can log in with Discord and set up your whole server with a few clicks. π₯οΈ
I built Anti-Nuke, AutoMod and Anti-Spam - because your server deserves to be safe, even when something goes really wrong. π‘οΈ
A new menu, faster pages and a lot of polish you'll never see - but hopefully feel. β¨
Welcome cards, level-up cards, insights, tickets, custom commands, birthdays, counting, giveaways, docs - I went a little crazy in October. π
The checkmark! My tiny level bot, verified by Discord. π
A setup assistant, a public status page - and a long list of ideas I can't wait to build for you. π
When I saw that checkmark, I honestly needed a moment. π₯Ή
Over 3 years of my life - from a little level bot to this.
To everyone who invited my bot, reported a bug, suggested a feature, or just leveled up every day: you are the reason Booversum exists. Every single one of you. π
And to my OGs who've been leveling up since the early days - you've seen every version of this, and you never left. That means more to me than you know. π
If my story inspires you to build something of your own: do it! Things will break. Keep going anyway - it's so worth it. And if Booversum ever made your server a little better - now you know how much love is behind it.
This isn't the end. It's the start of my next chapter - and I'd love for you to be part of it. See you there! π
with love, the developer behind Booversum π
