Discord's embeds for social media links are annoying. TikTok videos show as static images at times. Instagram Reels lose the video entirely and it sends as a thumbnail image. Twitter embeds are hit or miss (or used to be, it has improved).
Embebot automatically detects these links and replies with upgraded versions using services like vxtwitter, vxtiktok, and ddinstagram – which actually embed the video inline with a proper player.
Built on Cloudflare Workers using Durable Objects w/ a SvelteKit dashboard. Server admins can toggle platforms on/off and customize which embed service to use.

This is actually a rewrite to a Cloudflare workers friendly version of my bot since it was written in Go, packaged via Docker and hosted on my homelab, but I've been too busy tending to my homelab and want to host it on more reliable infra.
