devRant Slack Bot!

Quick links: Add the bot to Slack | GitHub repo

Thanks to an awesome open source effort created by @nblackburn, there is now a devRant Slack bot plugin available! It allows you to easily share different kinds of rants in any channel by using a series of commands. See below for more details.

You can easily add it to your slack channel by using this easy install link provided by @nblackburn.

Current sharing functionality:

  • Latest rant (@devrant latest)
  • Search for a rant by specific term (ex: @devrant search JavaScript)
  • A random rant (@devrant surprise)
  • A weekly rant (@devrant weekly)
  • Any rant by id (@devrant rant [id])

See something missing? Great, that's the best part of this project! It's open source and anyone from the community can contribute. Just head over to the GitHub repo where you can learn about contributing to it, discuss possible additions, add issues, etc.

The installable version provided above is generously hosted by @nblackburn (website)!

Enjoy, and we hope this bot makes your Slack channels a lot more fun and unproductive!
