Running Locally with Slack

1. Start the express server by running:

   $ npm start

2. Start a server tunneling service like ngrok to expose a public url that Slack can request from.

3. Configure a slack slash command for a slack team that you have permissions to in, which points to your running ngrok tunnel (ex. http://942b2fa3.ngrok.io/define).

4. 🚀 In your slack team messages and channels you should have access to the /define [word] command.
