Starboard in 30 seconds

What it does in your server, shown in Discord. With captions in five languages, and every scene also written out as text.

Read the video as text

Each step describes the picture first, then quotes what the voice says.

  1. The whole sentence is there from the first frame, in large white words under the ZombyIO logo, with “already buried.” in gold. Above it, in #general on Night Owls, Alex’s message “The cat just knocked my whole setup off the desk.” has two stars. New messages arrive and push it out of the window.

    “The best message all week is already buried.”

  2. Golden light opens from the centre. Under the ZombyIO logo, “Starboard” appears in large white letters, and the green zombie mascot in a headset springs up and waves.

    “Meet ZombyIO Starboard.”

  3. A label “Stars a message needs” fills up with three stars as Alex’s message in #general collects them. A second window, #starboard, slides in, and ZombyIO posts a star, 3 and #general above a gold embed with Alex’s name and the message, and a button “Go to message”.

    “Enough stars, and it gets a copy in a channel of its own.”

  4. “Go to message” is pressed. A gold dot travels up to the original message in #general, which lights up.

    “With a link back to the original.”

  5. More stars fly from the message down to the post. A card compares “On the message” and “On the post”: the number climbs to 12, the post a moment behind the message.

    “The number follows the stars.”

  6. The Starboard page at zomby.io/dashboard. Under “Emoji that counts”, the selection hops over a star, a flame, a laughing face, a skull and a heart, and lands on the ZombyIO mascot, marked “Your server’s own”. “Stars a message needs” offers 2, 3, 5, 10 and 25, with 3 chosen. A preview shows the chosen emoji, 12 and #general.

    “Any emoji works, including your own.”

  7. The channels of Night Owls. #general, with 5 stars, and #memes, with 7, each get a green tick. The locked staff-room, with 5 stars, lights up and gets a red cross: “Stays off the board”. Below, “Messages from private channels can reach the board” is switched off, above “Age-restricted channels never reach a normal board.”

    “And private channels stay private.”

  8. A large “Free.” with “One board on every server, 10 with Premium.” Labels: “Any emoji”, “Link to the original”, “Private stays private”. The mascot floats up.

    “Free, with one board.”

  9. End card: the ZombyIO logo, a green zombie face in a blue headset, above “ZombyIO” and “Run your Discord server without the busywork.” A white button reads “zomby.io”, with “Free for every server” below.

    “ZombyIO. Add it free at zomby.io.”

What is free, and what Premium adds

Premium costs €6 a month per server and is shared by every admin of that server. It raises limits, it does not unlock the feature.

Questions about Starboard

Is Starboard free?

Yes. Starboard works on the free plan, which is not a trial and does not expire. Premium costs €6 a month per server and only raises the limits in the table above.

Can a staff channel end up on the board?

Not by accident. A message from a channel @everyone cannot read stays off a board more people can read, unless you allow it, and an age-restricted channel never reaches a normal one.

Does a member’s star on their own message count?

No, unless you switch that on. Reactions from bots never count, and a bot’s own messages stay off the board by default.
