This bot isn't slacking off, it replies to messages 24/7! I tried to add more features, but I kept running into issues, so I made the basic one with the guide :0

@hadiya on My first slack bot!

I'm a beginner ;)
I built a Slack bot that responds to slash commands using Node.js and Slack Bot.
It includes multiple fun and useful commands like:
/dsb-ping → checks bot latency
/dsb-catfact → returns random cat facts
/dsb-joke → returns random jokes

the bot runs 24/7 on a server using systemd, so it stays online even when my laptop is off.

Challenges!
I had issues deploying the bot so it runs continuously on a server but managed to figure it out.
Tried adding new slash commands but kept running into errors ;(

I am proud that I successfully built a fully working Slack bot that integrates APIs and runs continuously on a server :D
I also improved my debugging skills and learned how to deploy Node.js applications properly using systemd.
