Abiding by the theme

Since the theme of this hackathon required us to base the name of the product on a book, I chose NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe. NightWatch has been acclaimed as the best general interest introduction to astronomy.

Rube goldberg implementation

Rube goldberg implementation means accomplishing by complex means what seemingly could be done simply. Usually discord bots need only one server but this project has three in total. What's more is that each of these server's are implemented in 3 different languages namely python, node.js and golang ! Here's how they work together

• Python server will do discord.py specific funuctions.
• Requests are forwared to Node.js server for validating inputs. For example checking if month name is correct or page number is valid.
• Any requests which need api calls are forwarded to Golang server after validating input through node.js server.
• Results are then returned from golang server to node.js to python to discord server. Beautiful !
