fakediscordgif

Discord gets a gif, the user gets redirected.

---

What is this?

This project is a simple webserver that shows the user a gif, but redirects them to a webpage when they middle-click on the gif, or click "open browser". See this video for a demo.

How does it work?

The webserver checks the user agent. If it matches the discord bot user agents, it shows the gif. Else, it redirects to a chosen webpage.

How do I use it?
