This spot shows the daily NASA space image, as well as a help command that shows the available commands and a ping command that shows the latency. Check out Slack on the Demo URL and try /sandhanabot-spaceimage, /sandhanabot-help, or /sandhanabot-ping!

This is my first ever Slack Bot with 3 commands: help, ping, and spaceimage. /sandhanabot-help will hand the user a list of the available commands. /sandhanabot-ping will show the user the latency. /sandhanabot-spaceimage (my favorite) will show the user the NASA Image of the Day as well as an accompanying explanation through my NASA API key. I struggled with understanding what was going on (I kind of still don’t understand what the copying and pasting that the guide had me doing was actually meant to be doing) and I struggled with getting the image to appear as an image (which I then learned needs me to use blocks)

I finished coding my very first Slack bot, and along the way I learned how to use blocks. I have three commands: help - shows the user the different commands, ping - shows the user the latency, and spacefact- which displays an image and an explanation of the image of NASA’s image of the day.
