discrawl mirrors Discord into local SQLite archive

discrawl is a Go-based command-line Discord client that mirrors guild data into local SQLite, including channels, threads, members, message history, mentions, and small attachments. It is built around bot-token access, fast FTS-backed local search, and read-only SQL analysis, making it a practical archive-and-query layer for developers who want Discord history to be inspectable outside the app.

// ANALYSIS

This is a genuinely useful niche tool: it treats Discord less like a chat app and more like a queryable dataset.

–The local SQLite backend plus FTS5 indexing is the real win here, especially for search and ad hoc investigation.
–It goes beyond message dumping by syncing threads, members, mentions, and live Gateway updates, so the archive stays useful over time.
–The tradeoff is setup friction: you need a bot token, the right intents, and channel permissions, so it is best suited to teams and power users.
–Compared with a normal Discord client, discrawl is more about retention, inspection, and analysis than day-to-day chatting.
