When discussing travels to Japan with friends on Discord, we often found ourselves switching tabs for info, including exchange rates, weather, traffic, basic translation, etc.

I build the bot to fulfill the need using node, typescript, and other public APIs.

Currently, there are 2 features but more will be added in the future:

1. Exchange rate: user can use the slash command to get the current exchange rate between Japan Yen and New Taiwan Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, or Malaysian ringgit. Users can set unit, currency, or isFromJPY to get the desired result. I also provide a quick user context menu command that can get the current JPY to NTD exchange rate. The feature is based on API from https://api.currencyapi.com.
2. Translation between JP and Traditional Chinese: Right-click on the message you want to translate You can see the command to deliver in the application section. The feature is built with Google Translation API. Might migrate to Openai in the future.

The project is deployed under Render.io. Cloud Application Hosting for Developers | Render
