A Lot Of DuckDuckGoing

Shortly after my last devlog I found out about Slack block kits. It took a bit of trial and error but I managed to make a matrix of buttons which I will use as the board itself.

The action_id troubles

I wanted to be able to see which button was pressed. For this I was going to use the action_id from the response payload. It took me a while to figure out how to get it because action_id is not a part of body (either is response_url and many other values that are actually a part of body) according to VScode but they actually are.

Ephemeral Messages

I figured that the board shouldn’t be able to be interacted with by anyone so I got the idea to make the message “Only visible to you”. It took me a bit of DuckDuckGoing to get it to work but it works.
