Slack bot home page done!

Along with that I also added tags of my blogs to my carousal. Most of the hard part was debugging why my Home page wasn’t showing up properly. It was because I forgot to add error reporting

I also spent a long time trying to add images to my hope page. The images didn’t just work! After a lot of time googling, I think it is because the image block can’t render svg files

Lastly, I also added @mention replies to my bot. There are a few fun pre-determined replies and when the input matches none, it passes the input to a free tier model of Gemini called Gemini Lite Flash 3.1

Some BTS

I had a lot of love and passion for this bot, and such also had high expectations with the payout. But unfortunately I only got 3x multiplier. I was sad, but I was ready to improve on the mistakes I made, I wanted to know what went wrong.

After I read the reviews, I was a little bit happier. They all said my bot was really good made! But unfortunately it didn’t work.

I spent the next couple of hours trying to find out what I did wrong!

I couldn’t. I lastly resorted to asking AI, I gave it full details. And it gave me my answer… the reason my bot shut down was because I was using the --user tag while starting my bot using systemd

I was devastated. I will never emotionally recover from this.

But the all good reviews kept motivated to keep on working. So i kept working on my other projects with full motivation! And yesterday I took some time off to complete the final few features I planned on adding to the bot.

Currently the bot is “completed” as per my book, but I will still add new features, updates when I see a interesting one!

Currently this is probably the last devlog of IceKeem in Stardance.
