nimforum VS DiscordChatExporter

If the video example does not work, you can use the examples projects in the nim SDL repository. When ex101_init.nim works, there is no reason the video example does not work. If you have further issues, do not hesitate to share a minimal working example with your detailed configuration (Nim compiler version, command line you used, file directory, libraries installed) on the forum.nim-lang.org

It might be worth posting this on the official nim forum (https://forum.nim-lang.org/) to cast a wider net.

Obviously forums aren't as popular as they used to be, so this topic might not be of interest to many. For folks that want to run a forum, they'd most certainly go with Discourse (Ruby), Flarum (PHP), Xenforo (PHP), NodeBB (Javascript), Nimforum (Nim) and maybe Casnode (Go)

https://forum.nim-lang.org/ doesn't let me post.

NimForum - https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum

You sound like you are in just the right demographic to love Nim...The Forum [1] is a good place to get support.

"embedded" can mean a few different things so that's a bit confusing for me, but if the intent was "show me places sqlite is used as a database backend for user-facing web software", the Nim forum (https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum) uses sqlite as its database backend.

I love NimForum, like a simplified discourse and super light on resources. Example

uses sqlite, is actively improved, they claim the nim language makes small cross-platform binaries but none for this release it seems.

DiscordChatExporter: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter

It's a standalone program using the API in a nonstandard way but I don't think anyone's been banned for using it yet.

In case anyone is not aware, you can download Discord logs.

I'm sure many people are annoyed by online forums being replaced by Discord. For a while I've hoarded servers I'm a part of with this tool. It's incredible, there's even a frontend tool they also made to browse your archived servers. Over time I've helped people find deleted guides, individuals who edit/delete content to get around rules, etc. This is becoming more of a necessity as time goes on.

Someone in the Discord server could try using DiscorcChatExporter.

Discord to me is like a burning library when it comes to archiving. You can try to save somethings but servers are disappearing all the time. There's discord chat exporter to archive discords, you can have an option to save attachments/images that you have to toggle on otherwise it won't. You could set it up so you could just use your account (which is against tos) or make a bot which does need to be invited to the server in question. So there is a way to download discords, but it risks getting you banned from discord. Note that being able to open the resulting html file relies on your computer, as some exports I've done are BIG and my computer being unable to load the file and read it (and no, my computer is not bad).
