My first slack bot!

A slack bot that will share to you cats images, gifs, and facts!

Ship #1

I made a slack bot called "FishWish" that basically tells you all about cats from gifs and images to facts. The name was called "FishWish" because cats always love fish and wish to eat them you know.

There are 6 different commands that you can feel free to check out and this is just a cool little slack bot that will be dedicated to cats :)

I was able to figure out how to get my slack bot onto nest 24/7 and then started to add some more commands such as /fishwish-greet (a cat will greet you with a “wassuppp”, /fishwish-catfilter (random filters will be thrown onto a cat picture), /fishwish-help (overview of all the commands), /fishwish-catpic (random picture of a cat). I spent a lot of time debugging the problems with all the image showing and the most complex one was with the /fishwish-catfilter because I had to randomize a lot of the values such as the saturation, and brightness. I was able to finally finish it though and everything was working as intended so it was super cool to see!

At first I was just following the guide in order to set up everything properly for the slack bot. Then, I was able to start coding on the js file in order to make the slack bot start responding. I tried to use the cataas api but I was having some trouble so for a very long time I had to keep debugging. The image on the right you can see before the gif was workign I was having a lot of failed attempts with it outputing links that were all undefined. There were a lot of debugging until I got the gifs to actually work. I also updated the slack bot icon and colors to make it look cool!
