I don't want to distract from what's happening here, but I built a slash command bot using flask-discord-interactions a few months back. It definitely made my life easier. I'm sure there's others out there.
This is an out of date link, if you're interested in getting started with discordrb you can find our up to date repo at https://github.com/shardlab/discordrb. Recently merged slash commands into main, awaiting a gem release still.
