Phoenix Slack Bot - Explore this simple and fun 24/7 Slack Bot!

🔥 Pheonix Slack Bot

Pheonix is a Slack bot I created using JavaScript, Node.js, and Slack Bolt. It runs 24/7 on Hack Club Nest and includes a few fun and useful slash commands. And yes, I know that the Spelling is wrong, but I wanted a slightly unique name, so I swapped the places of o and e; instead of phoenix, I put pheonix. :)

✨ Commands
/pheonix-ping — Checks whether the bot is online and shows its latency
/pheonix-help — Displays the available commands
/pheonix-catfact — Gives you a random cat fact
/pheonix-joke — Gives you a random joke

🛠️ Built With

Node.js
Slack Bolt
Axios
dotenv

🚀 Hosting

The bot is deployed on Hack Club Nest and runs continuously using a systemd service, so it stays online even when my computer is turned off.
