My first slack bot!
I made a Slack bot that has a bunch of animal commands. You can ask for a dog picture, a dog fact, a cat picture, cat facts, and more. I am pretty proud of this project because it is the first bot I made and hosted online. I learned so much throughout this project, and now I know what APIs are (and why everybody keeps talking about leaking them) and ssh, and so much more. You can test this project by either DMing the gabot, or doing /gabot-(something) in the bot-spam channel in the Hack Club slack

I added a couple new commands:
- /gabot-catpic
- /gabot-dogpic
- /gabot-dogfact
I managed to add tags to catpic, and added an error handler for when the tags weren’t recognized
I also added a new feature where if your message contains the word “bye” the bot automatically responds with a random message like bye, buh bye, ect.

I just finished the guide to make a Slack bot, and now im just waiting for my nest application to go though! I messed around a little with apis, and I think i learned a lot!
