2425Every community should be on urbit. Currently, many of them are on discord. This is particularly true of DAOs and creator-centered groups who would be a natural fit for us. But even if some members are interested in urbit, it's not easy to get everyone to pack their bags and move to a new platform all at once.
2526This was the motivation behind the first version of Faux, a bridge between discord and urbit groups. When a member posts a new message in your discord group, a bot reposts it in your urbit group, and vice versa. This is implemented with a python program over the urbit airlock. It works, and is in use by several groups, but it's difficult and frustrating to set up and configure.

2628For this project, I will rewrite the Faux discord bridge as a native gall agent and create a frontend app to configure it.
