My first slack bot!

Ship #1

@zombieking1555 on My first slack bot! · 9 days ago

I made my own Slack bot following the Stardance mission tutorial. This project, although beginner-level, was a challenge to me. It was my first time working with APIs, Hosting, and generally programming with JavaScript. I am proud of my custom Calendar command; it taught me a lot about working with APIs and allowed me to dip my toes past what was provided for me in the tutorial. My bot should be live using Nest and testable by anyone on Slack!

First devlog for a project I’m working on - likely last for this project.
I wanted to create this project to learn the flow of creating and shipping for the Stardance challenge. Almost everything I did here was entirely new to me: coding in JS, using API keys and tokens, and SSHing to host my bot on Nest. Luckily, I was able to figure out how to have my coding time properly logged to have enough to devlog. My 37 minutes reflect the time I spent tidying the project for shipment, not the 2 and a half hours spent figuring out how to parse a command into API parameters. This Slack bot was a lot of fun, looking forward to devlogging again on my next project.
