You are welcome to clone this source and run your own instance for any purpose, but please don't copy the branding of ConfessionBot!
Clones of ConfessionBot that have the same branding are harmful for our support server and image. Especially if modifications are made which invade users' privacy.
You can easily rename the bot by changing the botname parameter in config.ini. You should also use a different Username and profile picture when creating the bot user.

I have built a website which makes it easier to translate my projects, including ConfessionBot. Babel Translator.
ConfessionBot is written in Python with the help of the Discord.py API wrapper. Refer to the Project roadmap for future features we'd like to implement. All contributions are welcome and support can be given in the Discord server.
As the Babel language framework is being used, there's no need to provide strings for your code. Myself and the volunteer translators can add strings later. In place of strings, simply invent a meaningful key, for example;
self.bot.babel('confessions', 'confession_vetting_accepted', channel=channel.mention)
# Appears like the following until a string is written:
"<CONFESSION_VETTING_ACCEPTED: channel={channel}>"
# An example of a written string:
"Your message was accepted and posted to {channel}."This repository depends on the Merely Framework. Clone this repo into an overlay folder inside of Merely Framework to run this code (you will need to create the overlay folder). Afterwards, any improvements made to the framework can be comitted back upstream without any merge conflicts. - Contributions to the framework are greatly appreciated!
confessions.py implements the discord.ext.commands.Cog class. Read the documentation to learn how to write new commands or improve existing ones with this structure.
If you wish to provide strings, add them to babel/confessionbot_en.ini.
