Inspiration
Tired of always having to open up a different app just to figure out what the weather or time is in another city.
What it does
Uses the openweathermap api, maps.google api and stdlib's slackbot integration to determine the time and weather in other cities using a slackbot. Also has a pretty neat feature for people who love SpaceX and rockets in general.
How we built it
Looked up tutorials on using stdlib and its slack functionality. As well as researching the format openweathermap api and map.google api accept inputs and return outputs.
Challenges we ran into
Ran into quite a few errors that are typical with api's, such as format issues for the inputs and outputs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It works just the way we planned!
What we learned
How to use stdlib, openweathermap api , and maps.google api to create useful chatbots.
What's next for Slack Weather and Time Utility
Have Elon Musk add our bot to the SpaceX Slack workspace, so they can use the /spacex slash command
