About OmniLFG

During the height of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, I decided I wanted to start a new project to keep me sane during long stints alone. Purnell, (OmniLFG's predecessor) was born as a Discord bot. As socialising became more and more digital, there was a growing need for some way to organise events. Initially intended to be internal to a server my friends and I used, Purnell quickly gained traction amongst others. Interserver features were added to facilitate joining requests from other servers and there was a shift towards making Purnell more configurable on a server-by-server basis.

Alas, these were not features that Purnell was initially architected for, the codebase quickly became harder and harder to maintain until eventually I determined a rewrite was necessary.

The iteration of Purnell you're looking at now is a complete re-imagination of the original. Rewritten in Rust 🦀 to provide obscene amounts of speed and utilising a public API so that game developers can integrate Purnell directly into their clients.
