Devlog 2

 ## Changelog:

• 9f57c37: Okay! I finally made the bot say stuff natively from the website. this was not too bad. I was having a hard time seeding the db BUT guess what?!? Chatgpt and Copilot (i think thats the one in vscode) came in clutch. I figured out the seeding stuff and made it so that whenever a ship gets approved it sends a message to the channel (logs)

Next Step(s):

Notes:

Honestly this was easier than I thought BUT setting up the env was the most painful and difficult stuff ive ever done

Devlog 1

Changelog:

• df2c982: First ever commit so nothing crazy. Most of my time went into setting up the dev instance of Stardance which was more difficult than i expected! The first codespace was nuked so i made another codespace in which it worked like a charm!! Anyways in this commit I’ve only initialized the slack bot client– Getting ready for real action!

Next Step(s):

1. Figure out where and how to send messages from the app itself.

Notes:

I’m super excited for Stardance! this is my first ever devlog so idk if the formatting will be good or not- welp YOLO!
