History

linaSTK was first created on June 1 for the Revolt platform, using Python and the voltage framework. When Snakebot was eventually shut down, searinminecraft asked Dernis for the source code of Snakebot's STK module, which resulted in the porting of it's features to linaSTK (including the widely used player tracker on the SuperTuxKart Discord server). Dernis then offered to searinminecraft to allow him to host linaSTK to his server.

linaSTK was then ported as a Discord bot, with feature parity from linaSTK Revolt and additional features not available in the Revolt version.

On February 3rd 2024, linaSTK's source code on GitHub was archived, and development was moved to Codeberg, but linaSTK Revolt was still active on GitHub. linaSTK Revolt was then discontuned on March 14th 2024 due to the declining popularity of the Revolt platform.
