Discord Server Template Report

Discord has introduced a Server Template feature to make it easier to clone the key setup of a server. The information in a template can also be used for visualization and analysis purposes.

This program is a simple server that will download and parse a template in Discord's JSON format and render it with advice about possible redundancies in its permission configuration. No special access is required beyond turning on the template feature for your server.

Demo

There's a demo instance on Heroku.
