NanoBot is a lightweight Discord moderation bot designed around fast, thumb-friendly workflows — slash commands, prefix commands, and mention support all in one.
Why mobile-first
- Big tap targets. Short, focused sections.
- Commands target the last sender — no typing user IDs.
- Slash, prefix, and @mention support across every command.
- Role panels and reminders survive bot restarts.
