A simple Slack Bot that has some fun commands. For how simple it was, I sure spent a lot of time trying to trouble-shoot what I did wrong. Commands: dg-bot-ping, dg-bot-help, dg-bot-joke, dg-bot-catfact, dg-bot-catpic, dg-bot-1337.
This project was vetted by Shipwrights and is now up for voting. You can ship again after making more updates.

Shipwright walkthrough
Just added l33t 5p34k command to my bot. I effectively spent around an hour on two lines of code. They are probably pretty scuffed to people who know what they’re doing. This is an image of me trying to figure out how to get it working. Spent most time on getting the text input to work. Just tried things until I got there, but it works!
I made my own SlackBot. It is called DG-Bot. When I host it on my laptop half the time it times out (you can see this in the screenshot). Must be either because I use linux or my laptop being over a decade old now. I spent way too much time compared to what I made, but that’s how it is being quite new to a lot of this. Try out the catpic command (The bot is finally up and running so you can try it in the Slack)! They are very silly and cute. I also tried to make a nice README for it. I would love some constructive criticism and tips! I’m also learning how to do other things like devlogs and other things that make a project on here better.
