Hello!
I love your hardware project, however there appears to be an issue with he submission.
The stardance project you submitted is for a slack bot. The github and demo your submitted is for a separate hardware project. Please update the project to have the repo with your slack bot, and a demo as a channel with your slack bot in it.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to @Jack Jacobson on slack or the #ask-the-shipwrights channel and know that we can't wait to see what you will make next!

Ship #1

What I made

I built Kaazmo (its my gamertag(; ) , a Slack bot that I made with Node.js and Slack Bolt. It has three commands: /kaazmo-ping to check if the bot is online, /kaazmo-help to show the available commands, and /kaazmo-joke to return a random joke.

I also deployed it on a Nest server using systemd, so the bot keeps running after I disconnect from the server.

What was challenging:

The hardest part was getting the Slack tokens and Socket Mode connection working correctly, then setting everything up so the bot could run all the time on the server. I also had to figure out how to update the code through GitHub and deploy the changes to Nest.

What I’m proud of

I’m proud that I got the whole thing working and I can disconnect from Nest and the bot still responds in Slack.

How to test it

Open the Slack channel where the bot is installed and try:

/kaazmo-ping — checks if the bot is working

/kaazmo-help — shows the available commands

/kaazmo-joke — gives you a random joke

I just set up my Slack bot using Node.js and Slack Bolt. I have added three commands, ping, help and joke. I have tested them in Slack, and published the working code to GitHub. I have also set up the token files. Now I’m going to deploy it on Nest so it can stay online 24/7(:
