DashCord 1.4.0 makes Discord home-server controls cleaner

DashCord 1.4.0 is a major interface update for a headless Discord-to-webhook bridge for home labs. The earlier version kept simple button panels pinned near the bottom of a Discord chat so commands stayed easy to reach. That became messy when there were many commands, because Discord allows only 25 buttons in one message.

The new version adds dropdown menus, and each dropdown can hold up to 25 choices. Buttons can now open , so tasks like logging a weight or a container can ask for values before sending the request. Those values are added to the outgoing webhook data under a modal_inputs field.

Panels can also use Discord embeds with colors, titles, descriptions, and , configured from routes.json. The tool still runs headless from one routes and fits into a Docker setup.
