Mjerg

Developers

Who builds it.

Mjerg is one person's project. That is the whole team, and it is not a modest way of saying "a small team".

Ruby

Aubergine-UX · everything

Writes the bot, runs the server, answers the bug reports, drew the shield. Mjerg started in their own community in July 2026 and still lives there, which is why the annoying bugs get fixed first.

Everyone who reports things

Not officially a job

A decent share of what Mjerg does started as someone saying "it would be good if it could..." in the support community. Bug reports with the command and rough timestamp attached are worth more than they sound.


Building your own Osmium bot

Mjerg is not open source, so there is nothing to fork here. Osmium's API is public and unrestricted though, with no approval process and no gated endpoints, so building your own is open to anyone. These are the places to start:

API docs

Osmium's own reference for the gateway and REST API.

osmium.chat/docs/api

sdk-js

The official JavaScript and TypeScript SDK. What Mjerg is built on.

github.com/osmiumchat

bot-example-js

A working bot in about thirty lines. Start here rather than from scratch.

github.com/osmiumchat

Building something and stuck on the Osmium side of it? Ask in Osmium's own developer community rather than Mjerg's. Faster answers, and more people who have hit the same thing.
