A simpler and much lighter version of Unifier
Note
Unifier Micro is not the same as Unifier. If you're looking for the full scale version, go here instead.
Unifier Micro is a much lighter and less performant version of Unifier, built to work on extremely low-end systems.
Memory usage is minimized by removing certain values from UnifierMessage class, as well as not utilizing
multithreading and reducing caching.
Unifier is a much faster and versatile global chat bot. It uses threading and caching to significantly increase the bridging speed, and supports other platforms. Unifier Micro, on the other hand, takes a low-memory approach, and lacks the performance optimizations and platform support to significantly reduce memory usage. This reduces Unifier Micro's speed, as well as limits the bot to support Discord only.
Unifier Micro is built for small communities just wanting to give Unifier a spin, or communities with very limited resources to run Unifier. For communities of scale with decent resources, we recommend using the full-scale version instead.
Like most bridge bots, Unifier Micro has basic commands such as link, unlink, etc., so you can do most of what you'd need to do.
Unifier Micro's bridge has been rewritten to be as simple and resource efficient as possible. Although this results in significant performance losses, it is still usable enough for small communities.
Unifier Micro comes with basic server-side and global moderation commands for safety, such as user and server banning. Bot admins can assign moderators to Unifier Micro, just like in Unifier.
Just like in Unifier, there's no need to spend time setting up databases for Unifier Micro. Everything is stored locally on the same system you use to run Unifier Micro, so the performance is not impacted by slow 10k+ ping database servers.
Unifier setup guides can be used to set up Unifier Micro, although some parts won't apply to Unifier Micro (such as installing Upgrader).

We want to thank:
- Voxel Fox, for continuing the discord.py project as Novus when it was discontinued (it is now re-continued, but for now we'd like to use Novus)
- Rapptz and discord.py developers, for creating the discord.py library Novus is based on
We also use the logging logger formatting code from discord.py, which is licensed under the MIT license. You can find more info in
the EXTERNAL_LICENSES.txt file.
As the project founder and leader, I want to give my special thanks to:
- ItsAsheer/NullyIsHere, for joining the team and helping me fix my shitty Python and adding a lot of amazing features to Unifier
- Ente Community, for offering me invaluable advice for open sourcing this project
- My best friend, for turning my life around for the better and always supporting me even at my worst
And lastly but most importantly, the late role model of mine I used to know very well: He's the one that brought me and my best friend together, as well as lots of other people together as well. Without him, I don't know if Unifier would have even existed, so I want to pick up where he left off and continue uniting people in his honor. I dedicate this project to him by open sourcing the code, so people can use it to bring people together just like how he did.
In return, we expect that all users honor those who made this project possible use the code responsibly. Please do not organize any hate groups or whatever with Unifier.
