Hey, I’m Vensin — an anime enthusiast and developer who’s been coding for over 8 years. I’m based in Germany and love building projects that combine creativity, APIs, and interactive systems.
Ship Changes requested

Venix is a Slack bot built with Node.js and Slack Bolt that lets users search for anime and characters using the Jikan API.

It provides interactive Slack commands like anime search, character lookup, and random anime generation with structured results, images, and buttons for deeper details.

Devlog – Venix Slack Bot

I’ve been working on this project quite a bit recently and testing different ideas for how to structure a Slack bot that connects with the Jikan API.

At this point, the core features are basically done.

The three main commands are now finished:

/anime-search lets you search for anime and shows detailed information like rating, episodes, status, genres, and the cover image.
/character-search returns a list of characters based on the query, ordered by relevance, with the ability to open detailed views through interactive buttons.
/random-anime generates a random anime recommendation, currently filtered to prefer higher-rated entries and formatted with key information.

Right now the project is in a stable state where all core functionality is working as intended. The interaction flow with Slack blocks and buttons is also in place.

Next step will likely be improving the architecture.

After that I plan to run it on a Raspberry Pi for always-on hosting.
