** Devlog #1 **

Hi guys,
this will be the only devlog for this project mainly because of how little time is required but also that I forgot to log most of my time via Hackatime 💀💀.
Anyway,

Slack + VSCode

Initialising the bot and navigating through Slack’s website was probably the easiest part of this. It did get confusing at times but the guide helped out a lot. The same can also be said for VSCode the programming part wasn’t the hardest.

Nest

The same cannot be said for using the server exclusively through CLI. It also did not help that two of the commands did not work on the server due to the URLs now pointing elsewhere and that I kept getting 403s . These two commands didn’t work:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | bash -
apt install -y nodejs

So unfortunately, I did have to use Claude here and instead of installing node on the server via node source, I installed it via nvm. Instead of those two commands use these and follow the instructions:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install --lts

I don’t know if that error was exclusive to me but if other people face that error, there’s the code you should use.

Other than that, developing the bot was great and it took me around 2 hours (half an hour extra because of that error). This is probably where I’ll end development for the slack bot but if you still want to check out my repo: https://github.com/spliceydice/dicey

p.s. any people who work at stardance reading this please check that error out! Thanks!
