06 — Bot + Dashboard — 2025
CodeCafe
CodeCafe is a Discord bot and companion website that turns study sessions into a cozy cafe game. It tracks voice room time without spamming commands, rewards study hours with coins, and shows progress heatmaps on the web.
CodeCafe Case Study & Architecture
The CodeCafe Challenge
Developer servers have busy voice channels. But friends have no easy way to track study hours or celebrate quiet work milestones together.
Engineering Approach for CodeCafe
I built quiet background tracking. The bot notices when you sit in a Focus Room and adds Cafe Coins to your pouch automatically. A companion website shows GitHub-style green heatmaps and leaderboards. A simple timer bot can also move members between study rooms and break lounges.
Core Highlights & Architecture
Created silent voice channel tracking that gives coins to active study room members.
Built a companion web dashboard with contribution heatmaps and glass-style panels.
Added automated Pomodoro timers that move users between work and break rooms.
