Made a slack bot with the help of the stardance tutorial! Getting the basics and files done was relatively easy, though I did get some assistance when I came across an api that gave multiple strings. When I was setting up the bot for 24/7, accidently created a new folder, solved that issue. The bot is now active and has a dedicated channel I made for it https://app.slack.com/client/E09V59WQY1E/C0BH7L8Q7K6

Devlog #1: Worked on making my own slackbot, couldn’t think of a better name so decided to name it “tsbot”, intending it to be a placeholder but now i’m not bothered to change the name. Had it be able to run a few commands, such as /tsbot-help, /tsbot-ping, /tsbot-joke, /tsbot-fact, and /tsbot-dog, most of them fetch apis from another website. It works! Made my own channel in slack for the bot as well.

Followed the Give Your Website A Pulse tutorial to learn about the basics, had an error with the nasa api which took a while for me to figure out, but once I got there, I decided to add a feature where you can see the date of the image of the day, as well as some custom css that I tinkered around with. May look a bit basic, but at least it's mine! (I'll work on getting better dw)

Decided to start the mission for nasa api image fetching.

Followed tutorial, but then ran into an error with an invalid api from nasa. Then realised that it was a simple typo. That mistake wasted lots of time. Anyways, also worked on css, making everything look nice, and completed going through the tutorial, learning about how I could use rem instead of px, and minor things like that. After the nasa api worked, everything went along pretty smoothly. I decided to add a date feature below the title, so users would know what date the image was for, and found a nice font on google fonts which i ended up using. I kept the image large, as it was supposed to be the center of the entire website.
