A minimalist discord bot framework

'''A simple bot framework.
Simply configure the options in config.yaml and start the bot with `python3 main.py`
Make sure to run requirements.txt first!
The bot does -not- have any commands by default. You will either need to add them manually or use the included cog loader.
