Final Update! I finally finished working on this project by adding 4 new useful features. The main challenge was to fix API bugs and coming up with new features. I’m proud of myself for finishing this simple project that was build from scratch. To test the project, go read the README - I fully explained everything there. See you all in my next project!

Today I added 4 new useful commands. After reading a commnet on my Ship #2 mentioning that this bot mainly has entertainment commands, I added USEFUL features you can use on a daily basis. I think this is my final update and after Ship #3 I’m going to focus on another project

As I promised added Pomodoro timer and weather check. I think wttr.in is simple and not always correct but it’s better than nothing. All the commands work correctly and I am proud of it

I updated my Slack bot and added one new feature that delivers a random quote with its author to inspire you. There was almost no challenge because code for quote and joke command were absolutely identical. Also, I restored /novabot-help so you can see all the available commands.

I was trying to fix /novabot-help command, which worked yesterday. I’ve tried to regenerate App token, rewrite the code, but it didn’t work. Consequently, I deleted this command and shipped only the working ones

I built NovaBot, a NestJS/TypeScript Slack bot usin Socket Mode and Axios for external API data. The main challenge was configuring Slack API authentification and setting up environmental variables cleaanly. I’m most proud of structuring a complete application from scratch with 4 working commands and a clear README. To test it, clone repo, run npm install, add your SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_APP_TOKEN to a .env file, and start it with node index.js.

Built the /novabot-joke and /novabot-catfact commands using Axios for API requests. The trickiest part was configuring Slack’s Socket Mode in NestJS so the bot could receive payload events instantly without setup of a public webhook endpoint. After a few structural adjustments with the @slack/bolt lifecycle, all four slash commands are responding with 0-1ms delay
