Read me’s and undos!

Devlog 13

Added block kit messages, scheduled triggers, and http requests. At first I wasn’t sure how I was going to do block kit messages to make it simple to use, but then I decided it would be best to have a visual esque builder which is what I did. Along with this, http request component has been added allowing you to get, patch, post, etc, as well as scheduled trigger being added to repeat a flow every xx minutes/seconds/hours.

Devlog 13

Tabs, tabs and more tabs! Created a tab system for bots where you can create new tabs/canvases to keep your bot and flows organised.

Added themes. Themes are easy to create and use, with the topbar and simple hex files to create your own.

Devlog 11

I added a seperate window for bot logs for people to open, making it easier to manage their bot. I also added the ability to run bots independently so you don’t need to have SlackSmith open, as well as allowing for you to run bots on cloud hosts. Tbh wasn’t sure how to do this at all at first, so I did do this part with AI assistance.

Devlog 10 Onboarding

I have added onboarding. This appears when you first create a bot, prompting you to set it up through the slack API dashboard with easy to follow steps so everything works stress free.

Develop 9 New Components and TopBar

I have added full array functionality with array set, array length, array add, array remove, etc as components.
I have also added the top bar to the electron app for things such as saving, running, etc.

Devlog 8 New Components

triggers: user join channel, user left channel, bot mention
data: math, random number, random string, date and time, convert, string, string length, string replace, string split, string join, string contains, string case, regex match, regex replace

Devlog 7 Bot Runtime

I create the main runtime of the app which allows for you to actually start building bots! I ran into some issues first before figuring you have to add scopes for pretty much everything in slack, so I have to figure out the best way to handle that to users, however it does work when you add these events and scopes. So far there is only about 5 components that actually work, but I will be working on adding a lot more soon.

Devlog #6

I added the functionality to add your bot to the app, as well as it verifies that it is actually real information. I also updated the basic runtime to have a start/stop/restart instead of ‘starting’ when you open the bot /app.

Devlog #5

I have added the properties as well as node categories and more. Now time to work on actual functionality!

Devlog #4

Today I added the node editor to the app. Honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to do it yet but after looking at Foblex flow and Reactflow and taking some inspiration and some snippets I managed to make it and are fairly happy with the outcome. Obviously there is still a bit to do but I am going to work on adding all the actions (or at least have proper actions in different categories) before worrying about that.

Devlog #3

I created the backend storage as well as frontend for the basics of creating and managing bots. I had some issues with it refusing to store in app storage however after some sudo commands I managed to get past it.

Devlog #2

Shifted to Electron base and created components. At first I was going to make this completely web based and then refactor to electron later, but decided that would be too much of a hassle so I’ve now gone straight to Electron. Along with that, I’ve custom made elements ill need along the way with a slack like color pallete

Devlog #1

I have started working working on this project. So far I have only setup the basic setup and basic web server however I am looking forward to making this and continuing.
