My first slack bot!

A Slack bot built with Python and Slack Bolt that runs 24/7 on a nest server using Socket Mode. It responds to a set of custom slash commands including a ping latency checker, coin flip, dice roller, and motivational quote generator. Originally based on a JavaScript guide, the project was converted to Python.

What did you make?
A 24/7 Slack bot built in Python that responds to custom slash commands like /slck-coin, /slck-dice, /slck-ping, and more. Runs on a nest server using Socket Mode.

What was challenging?
The guide was in JavaScript so I had to convert everything to Python first. Getting the bot installed into an actual Slack workspace was also way more difficult than expected because I did not know what to do.

What are you proud of?
After AI explained and taught me the syntax that I needed I mostly did it myself.

What should people know to test it?
You can just click on my demo link and test it by joining the slckbot channel.

You’ll need your own Slack app and workspace. Full setup is in the README — once you add your tokens to .env, just run python slackbot.py, invite the bot to a channel, and try any /slck- command.

#Devlog #2

I actually did this a while ago but I was waiting for the ship function and I also did not have a demo link.

I added 2 things:

#1: I added slck-motivate
#2: I added slck-shrug

I also updated /slck-list. I removed /slck-time because it took the local time of the nest server rather than whichever device /slck-time was run on. The code is still in VS code but /slck-time is removed from the commands.

I could not post devlogs because I had a bug where hackatime and stardance challenge were not syncing properly but It got fixed.
