To make this even more confusing, a "Web hook" is usually a URL on your server that receives requests as a result of events somewhere else. Discord is using the term almost completely differently to refer to an HTTP API for posting notifications to Discord chats, instead of a mechanism for receiving events from Discord at some chosen URL. Unless Discord intends for these API URLs to be set as "Web hooks" in other services and produce notifications in a Discord chat? I would suggest a name more like `WebService::Discord::Notifier`.

Haha. The one comment I've gotten on Reddit was to change the name to this (from Net::Discord::Webhook) - the PAUSE guide recommends using either WWW or WebService when referring to modules that interoperate with a web-based service. Two hardest problems in computer science, indeed...	[reply]
