Bubbles VS slack

Working with new modmail with PRAW is... painful. I built this script for our mod slack that just checks for unread messages and it works probably 95% of the time? Occasionally the headers are backwards and I just haven't had the gumption to fix it for how little it happens. https://github.com/GrafeasGroup/Bubbles/blob/main/bubbles/commands/modmail.py

So I started working on a bot that would live in modchat, able to help us with whatever we needed and something that could be extended in the future. (For those interested in the tech side of things, we originally started by building on the errbot platform before eventually building a brand new system from scratch that better fit our needs.) As we built, we needed a name for the new bot; a few different names got thrown around, but we eventually settled on Bubbles.

Enter Bubbles, our modchat chatbot. Bubbles originally started as a system for doing more complex reminders before morphing into a truly indispensable tool for our team. Among other things, Bubbles directly controls all of the other bots on the server, including herself. Let's say that we push a new feature to GitHub for Blossom -- something that happens fairly regularly -- in the Before Times, we would have to SSH into the server and run a small laundry list of commands just to get the deployment to finish. Instead, we merge in the new code on GitHub and ask Bubbles to handle the process for us directly in Slack.

We did something similar, but doesn't have the permissions checking that your does (and ours is much simpler to deploy -- and it can update itself!) https://github.com/grafeasGroup/bubbles-v2

Though I am thinking of converting my Python Bolt slackbot (very early in development anyway) over to using slack-go. Mainly wanted to rewrite some of it anyway and use socket-mode.

code looks to be BSD licensed from https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/5a6b1b08ff8fa911e85bd582de643f7f0df0f0fb/chat.go

I have created a Slack bot that acts on some slack events to create Jira tickets using Slack Go. It was a hobby project for me but it's being used for some teams on my company.

I have also tried to do this in Go, because I always would try to do something in Go given the opportinity, but the Go Slack API was using the outdated auth system, there was simply no documentation to follow at all. I see this in my second attempt at using Go, having no tools to use, or no instruction to follow. Oh well, maybe the next project...

We use this library github.com/slack-go/slack for the API calls and data model.

The Slack Go SDK is a community SDK and not officially maintained by Slack. This means it doesn't get the same care or attention in terms of documentation and code examples.

I am using Slack-Go (https://github.com/slack-go/slack) to create a modal to allow my users to enter some information.

Does the example in the repository for the Events API not useful? https://github.com/slack-go/slack/blob/master/examples/eventsapi/events.go

I came across the well-maintained slack-go library; I started coding my bot using the provided example. Everything worked fine; The code is producing the expected result. It is time to make another coffee and implements a few extra features.
