Welcome NiroBot! It is my personal bot in slack!
Actually it was pretty easy, I added my personal function that would be helpful for me in daily life. Yet, I was also happy to learn the process. It was my first SlackBot.
There was some problems when responding with image, and hosting bot to the nest. But I was able to debug them.
I also spent time making readme readable and made demo.md with screens of each response.
Hope you enjoy!

Completed!
Last thing I have added was random trending git repo. When searching freeapis i found interesting one. Which was official github api. So, now I can get random open source project by command. Well it was pretty straightforward to implement. The new thing I learned was mrkdwn format use in slackbot respond, i had to make clickable link.
Also I spent time making readme readable and making demo md. I looked throught projects of others and tried to get best from other.
So, i made channel for my bot for ease of testing.
Also, i had removed joke function from tutorial as api seeps to fail.
Also, I have uploaded bot to the nest! it actually had problems, but they were easy to solve, I just accidentally added extra text in .env file, but it was fixed.

2 Function added. It converts currencies like USD and CNY to my local currency.
apparently very easy as it doesnt involve any image or other. Straightforward send get request to api, fetch it and respond with it. I think I will ship third function and after fixing the readme will already ship it.

Just starting out. Quickly passed through the guide and got the basics of making slack bots. So after pinging my own bot and adding basic cat fact funtion I tried to add my own function that sends api to anime provider. So, now I can see all ongoing animes. Had to look through githubs of other projects to learn how to send images, as guide focused only on text response. But currently I am pretty happy with the result, Also thinking of adding other functions too. Not sure for now what I will add.
