Devlog #1

Worth Watch is a website where you can search for your favorite movies & add them to your watchlist

I finished the header & search sections HTML & CSS code
The most time consuming part was playing with values to make the header & search sizes responsive to different screens (I’m using plain CSS)

Final devlog + demo ✨

Finished working on botty!
How it works:

• you run ‘/botty-convert {amount} {base} to {target}’
• you can enter a decimal amount
• currency codes aren’t case-sensitive
• works with A LOT of different currencies

Technical parts:

• I used a regex to separate between values more dynamically
• I Learnt the difference between the built-in fetch & axios.get()

The hardest part was the error handling & creating intuitive error messages that depend on the error type.

Just finished my first working version of the slack bot mission!

What did I learn:

• How to create a bot and generate the API keys on slack
• How it’s important to wrap your API calls in a try & catch block or otherwise your app will stop working as soon as any error happens
• How much hack club is awesome and very guided! I thought that things will be hard but it turned out pretty easy, actually!

What I’m aiming to:

• I’ll probably turn it to be a currency convertor (for example, running ‘1 usd to euros’ should return 0.87 euros) because this sounds interesting.
