SOEPBot is a Slack bot designed to make your day a little better. To do that, I added a few fun commands such as catfact, joke, and meme. It also includes some more technical commands, like server, which displays server information, and ping, which shows the bot’s latency.
I have included screenshots of all the commands in action.
Even though this is a relatively small project, I learned a lot while building it. One thing that surprised me was how much documentation I ended up writing. It wasn’t the most exciting part of the project, but it was great practice and will definitely help when I work on larger projects in the future.

Lately I’ve been finishing up some old projects, and this is one of them. I added a few extra commands and will probably ship it soon once I’ve fixed the remaining bugs and finished the documentation. I won’t go into too much detail just yet, but my favorite addition is the ‘meme’ command. Building it taught me how to send images to slack through code, which was a lot of fun to figure out. In the screenshots you can also see some of the other commands I’ve added. I made this as a fun Slack bot, so it includes jokes, memes, random facts, and ideas for when you’re bored. I’ll be shipping it today or tomorrow.

Just built my first project, super fun. Took ~30 mins to build, then another 30 because Node.js wasn’t working properly due to using VS Code Flatpak instead of the official version. And I think that a Slack bot is one of the best starter projects.
