Hey Pancakehead!
Cool project, I get a error when doing the command /pancakeheads-bot-arxiv as seen in the video. Can you fix that and reship after checking thoroughly that the commands work.
Dm @ Rohan for any questions : D

My Slack Bot is done! The bot provides 3 commands: ping, discover, and help. The ping and help command are trivial, and the discover command lets you search for the latest 25 arXiv papers for the topic you search for! It reuses an old API I made in Python a while back, but I had to learn to implement it in Node.js to use it. I am still new to slack, so the demo URL just points to the bot-spam channel, where hopefully the bot will work for someone other than me. Use /pancakeheads-bot-help to get started

Got the Slack Bot working! It successfully uses an arXiv discover API of mine that I built a while back and integrates it using child_process in Node.js. It took a bit of time to debug why the JSON parsing was failing, but then I found an old print() statement where it shouldn’t be! Use /pancakeheads-bot-help to get started!
