Devlog 2

Last devlog before the first ship 🚀

In this devlog, I updated the UI a little bit but I also added a lot of new stuff.

What’s new?

• The settings button is now in the bottom-left corner and opens a settings modal instead of expanding the page. The settings also include a link to the Stardance project and to my website.
• Added Quick Links where you can add your favorite websites for quick access, being saved in the localstorage. You can also delete them. (There is a name length limit of 35 characters)
• Added an actual banner and announcement that are retrieved from a GitHub repository:

try {
  config = await fetch("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crislazy/json-files/main/newtab.json")
    .then(r => r.json());
} catch (e) {
  console.log(e)
}

And it gets back a JSON file like this:

{
  "banner": "https://user-cdn.hackclub-assets.com/019f3d65-e4e2-7493-aa1b-ff4c5b419d21/NeWtAb_Banner1.png",
  "announcement": "First ship #1"
}

And, in case the banner couldn’t be loaded, there is a backup placeholder banner, just in case.

• I added a I feel lucky button that just redirects to a secret link
• I also removed the .env file as it wasn’t used
• I added the feature where you can search links like: https://example.com or http://example.com in the search bar and it would redirect to the website. Sadly URLs like example.com wont work…
• I also created a README file for the project as I forgot to make one before.

AI declaration

I get help from an AI agent for the Settings modal and for the Quick Links as I couldn’t make them work.

As I mentioned, this will be the last devlog before shipping the project for the first time.

Devlog 1

I currently added a clock, search bar and some settings. In the settings you can enable/disable if it opens a new tab or not when you search. Also you can switch the search engine from DuckDuckGo/Google/Bing. All the settings save in localstorage.

I plan to add more stuff like shortcuts, calendar, an actual banner and more.

Updates

• FD might kill me

• We spent 2hrs fixing the first 3 bytes of keystream being wrong for the last block when we were calling the slack api.

• Implemented a ENV parser

• Yet another gitignore update

• Fixed parsing extensions wrong

• Reached 8.2K LOC

Devlog 4

Note: This may be the final devlog

What did I do?

• I moved the chatbot from mentioning the bot to running /blob-talk <message> and limited the AI bot only to the testing channel(#crislzys-testing-channel).
  I also changed the storing method for the AI history to sqlite3 and added /blob-reset that resets your chat history.
• I added a welcoming messaging feature that can be enabled running /blob-setwelcome On(Default is off). I also updated the /blob-about command and the README.md file.
• I modified the code making it a little bit better to read.

What will I add?

Probably nothing for now but in the future this bot may receive updates.

Where can I test the bot?

The bot can be tested in #crislzys-testing-channel on HackClub’s Slack

Used Packages

• @slack/bolt
• axios
• dotenv
• sqlite3

Devlog 3

Note: This project is still a work in progress and may contain bugs or incomplete features.

What did I do?

I added the following slash commands:

• /blob-about: This command basically gives the uptime of the bot and a few info.
  I also replaced the @ping responses with an ai chatbot using the HackClub AI API. (ChatGPT helped me a bit because i couldn’t figure out how to add a history to the chat)

Note: The AI chatbot feature may be removed in the future. And also the responses are a bit slow.

I also updated the /blob-help command with these new commands and I added a pfp to the bot.

What will I add?

Right now I don’t know what I could add but tomorrow I may come up with some new ideas.

Where can I test the bot?

The bot can be tested in #crislzys-testing-channel on HackClub’s Slack

Devlog 2

Note: This project is still a work in progress and may contain bugs or incomplete features.

What did I do?

I added the following slash commands:

• /blob-8ball: This command is basically 8ball
• /blob-whoami: Returns you name(ex: “crislzy”) and your SlackID
  I also updated the /blob-help command with these new commands.

What will I add?

I was thinking of adding more responses to pings and also adding a command that used AI(using HackClub’s AI API).
And probably some new slash commands that are usefull and fun.
Also, I would want to add a pfp for the bot and a description.

Devlog 1

What did I do?

I added a help command, a catfact command and a ping command. I also made the bot respond to pings.
I also hosted the bot on nest. And can be tested in #crislzys-testing-channel on HackClub’s Slack

What will I add?

Good question…
Probably , I will add some fun commands like 8Ball , a calculator and also a “What Is My SlackID” command.
I will also make the code cleaner and adding a README and maybe also an MIT LICENSE.
