👋 Welcomer Bot 👋

Welcomer is a self-hosted Discord bot that sends a fully customised welcome card with a generated banner image whenever someone joins your server. No dashboard, no commands needed to configure it — everything is set in one config file.

✨ What's New in v2.0.0

Fully customisable via config.
Animated GIF support — GIF backgrounds render as a fully animated output image, not a static frame.
Auto Role — Automatically assign one or more roles when a member joins. Just add the role IDs to the config.
Invite Tracker — See who invited each new member, the invite code they used, and how many times that code has been used — all shown directly in the welcome card.
Test command — /test_welcomer lets admins preview the card without waiting for a real join.

🖼️ Features

Flexible backgrounds — gradient colours, remote image URL, or a local file (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF)
Custom fonts — drop any .ttf file into the assets folder and set it in the config
Placeholders — {user}, {username}, {server}, {count} in both card text and banner text
Fully toggleable — every element of the card can be individually shown or hidden

⚙️ Commands

/test_welcomer Preview the welcome card using your own account
