Welcome to Blurt, I’ll respond to one of the items:

Is there a way to get Blurt notifications coming into Discord, as with Ginabot on Hive?

There was DINO developed by @ericet, but was shutdown when he left. @saboin and I tried to fill in, but have not polished it to the level or quality as GINA. I’ve developed @brunobot to somehow notify me of posts, comments, and transfers which are where the bulk of notifications are required . An MVP if I may call it.
