Slack bot devlog #1

I started coding in Stardance and picked a Slack bot as my first project. It runs on JavaScript and is hosted on a Nest server so it stays online 24/7. I managed to build the 4 standard commands: /miki-ping, /miki-help, /miki-joke, and /miki-catfact. Fetching the jokes and cat facts from APIs was pretty confusing at first, and I spent way too much time debugging why the server kept crashing because of silly typos.

Another huge mistake I made during my first time coding a Stardance project, is that I forgot to install the time tracker extension in VSC, so I had to rewrite the code completely to get a similar amount of ‘minutes coded’ to my original attempt, but in the end, it finally works!
