lilian's Issues

Could not find that member.

After linking my pronouns page, it cannot find me. I tried both mentioning myself, and using my ID. But it can't find me.

Fix undefined

This function somehow works perfectly in context menus, but not the slash command.

Link pronouns not showing correctly.

As you can see below, Lilian does not support links in fields.

I assume you can see why it's happening, because Lilian is using the raw data given from the API which is a link.

I spent a few days coming up with a solution, but not only will it take a lot of API requests which may end in being ratelimited, but I wrote this in a language that is not similar to TS and may be difficult to read.

This is what my bot is doing:

• If the input is a link, it uses the /api/pronouns/{pronoun} endpoint and inputs everything except https://en.pronouns.page/ in the {pronoun} field. It then saves pronoun_subject and pronoun_object.
  It then saves the link.

• If the input is not a link, it then checks if it begins with :. If yes, it uses the /api/pronouns/{pronoun} and searches for the input including the :. It then saves pronoun_subject and possessive_determiner.
  It then saves the link, replacing every space with %20.

• If it's none of these, it just uses /api/pronouns/{pronoun} with the input as the {pronoun}, and saves the pronoun_subject and pronoun_object.
  It then saves the link.

• It then combines everything together to make [{pronoun1}/{pronoun2}]({link}) with the pronouns in order of which was saved first.

The nameself pronoun has to be displayed differently to the other two options, otherwise it would show Name/Name instead of Name/Name's

Again, I know this is probably not a good fix due to ratelimiting; However this is a possible idea that I spent a while coming up with and working on to offer up a working idea.
If you do want to try to read the code, I can send it to you, but it's using a very simplified programming language for a mobile app (Bot Designer For Discord)
