Happy summer everyone! An amazing summer full of cool launches awaits us, but for now, here's the brand new version of Horizon with a lot of cool features to make your summer even better. 

✨ Interactions Commands Have Been Added!
• Horizon Interactions are commands that normal users can execute without the use of slash commands by tagging Horizon itself. Learn more in your Horizon server settings.

✨ Device Interfaces
• Tired of an awful interface of /settings and other commands on mobile? Now Horizon sees your device and provides you with the corresponding interface! Do not worry—it's 1000% privacy-friendly as it does not log anything about your device to us!

Still don't want to be tracked? Change it using the new command  /preferences!


🚀 Quality of Life Updates & Changes
• Users can now navigate in the /settings command with the "Go Back" buttons instead of re-running the command.
• Made /settings & /help ephemeral so no other users can see these commands except the command author.
• Ability to remove command info button from your automations embed using /settings.
• Error messages now include more detailed information, including error codes for certain commands to share with the support team!
• Merged all the settings editors (buttons, colors, etc.) into one button with multiple select menus to make the whole design more minimal for both computer and mobile devices.
• Buttons for /articles, /blogs, and /reports now have a cooler design for easier navigation.
• We renamed all instances of "bot" to "Application", "App", and "Horizon".

🚀 Improvements
• Improvements have been made to the way we fetch "Next Event" data for faster results.

📋HORIZON UPDATE V2.0-COSMOS • 05/06/24 🎉 


📋 HORIZON UPDATE V2.1-COSMOS • 01/07/24 🎉


Hello everyone, hope you're all having a great time! Here are some small improvements and quality-of-life changes for the v2.1 update:

✨ Automations 2.0
Horizon now utilizes the latest version of the Horizon API for blogs, articles, reports, and APODs, resulting in even faster post deliveries directly to your server.

Please note that this enhancement does not apply to upcoming launches and events, but we have also improved the posting times and the queue management, and we will continue to monitor automations performance.

✨  Horizon Tips
You may now receive helpful tips during Horizon commands, guiding you to our documentation or suggesting actions for better utilizing Horizon. These are not ads, but genuine tips. You can also disable them permanently at any time.

Bug Fixes & Improvements
• Fixed issue with astronaut data, ensuring more than 7 astronauts are displayed on the ISS.
• Resolved the "Unknown interactions" error permanently for all Rover Images.
• Horizon now schedules fewer tasks as Horizon API takes over management.
• Redesigned some button interfaces for a more minimalistic and user-friendly design.

📋 HORIZON UPDATE V2.1-COSMOS • 01/07/24 🎉

📋 HORIZON UPDATE V2.2-COSMOS • 23/07/24 🎉


Hey everyone! We’ve rolled out some exciting updates in v2.2 to enhance your Horizon experience. Check out what’s new:

✨ Automations 2.1
We’ve made a major leap in automation efficiency! Horizon now skips guilds with no enabled automations, boosting performance by +50%. Additionally, automations are now lightning-fast and can post articles even when descriptions are missing. Say goodbye to delays!


🚀 Permissions Manager
Useful note for everyone, you can use Discord’s built-in system to block certain roles from accessing specific commands. This can help you streamline command permissions and improve server management. Horizon also offers it's own Permissions Manager for permissions in case you need it!

Bug Fixes & Improvements
• Fixed the deletion data process bug—old data has been thoroughly cleared.
• Redesigned the server settings editor and preferences interface for a more nicer selection process, moving away from traditional buttons.
• Updated reports automations to avoid using a static image for each post, providing more dynamic content.
• Resolved the bug that made rover commands visible only to authors, so now everyone can access them as intended.
