Deployed MeowBot to a real server so it can run 24/7 instead of just on my laptop. Applied for and got approved on Hack Club’s Nest hosting, SSH’d in, pulled the code from GitHub, and set it up as a systemd service so it survives reboots and crashes with auto-restart. Hit and fixed an invalid_auth error from stale Slack tokens along the way — had to regenerate both the bot and app-level tokens and carefully sync them into the server’s .env. Also enabled the Messages tab in Slack so people can DM MeowBot directly, not just use slash commands in channels. Bot’s now genuinely always-on.

Devlog Update: Slash Commands for MeowBot 🚀Quick update for my #stardance project! I’ve finished building and testing the core slash commands for MeowBot: /meowbot-help: Outputs a formatted menu of available commands and quick tips (sent as an ephemeral response to keep the channel clean)./meowbot-weather: Queries live weather data for any location and posts the formatted result straight to the channel.
