Features¶
Comrade Bot and Politburo are being rebuilt as a single platform. This page describes what you can rely on today versus what is still on the roadmap.
Available today¶
| Area | What you get |
|---|---|
| Identity | Link your Discord account to your Infinite Flight Community (IFC) username with logbook proof — no IF password. |
| Registration | /register creates your global account and can link you to the current VA with a callsign. |
| Live game data | Cached active sessions and flights from Infinite Flight (JSON API and portal views where wired). |
| Signed links | Short-lived browser links from Discord into the Politburo portal. |
| API access | Machine clients use an API key; see the API reference. |
Discord commands (high level)¶
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/register |
Create your account or link to the VA on this server |
/initserver |
Bind this Discord guild to a VA (administrators only, after you are registered) |
/status |
Check your registration and membership |
/help |
Command catalog |
Other commands (live map, stats, dashboard, events) depend on your VA setup and what the rewrite has wired for your server — ask your VA staff if something is missing.
Portal (web)¶
The Politburo portal is for longer workflows: maps, tables, VA configuration, and staff actions that do not fit a Discord modal. Access is usually through a signed link from Discord. See Discord & portal.
Roadmap (not promised on a date)¶
- Full role management and administrator transfer in the portal
- VA-filtered live views and events in Discord matching the old app
- Datasource wizards and deeper Airtable integration
- Operator tools for occupied-IFC reports and guild migration
Your VA’s system of record (hours, PIREPs, ranks) stays in your own tools; we connect and orchestrate — we do not replace your spreadsheet or database.
