I built StarDance Assistant, a 24/7 Slack bot designed to respond to messages, remember user interactions, and provide helpful commands. I developed the project using Node.js, Slack Bolt, and VS Code. Throughout development, I faced challenges with Slack configuration, GitHub authentication, API limitations, and cloud deployment. I overcame these issues by redesigning parts of the application, implementing a lightweight memory system, and debugging deployment problems. Finally, I deployed the bot on Railway, enabling it to run continuously in the cloud. This project helped me gain hands-on experience in Slack app development, cloud deployment, debugging, and shipping a real-world application.
