Slackword

Imagine having a conversation with your team on slack and someone drops a big word. How do you stay calm? This solution helps you find the meaning to these words right inside the conversation without breaking the flow. It maximises slack's slash command.

Here is a dictionary in your slack....additionally, you can get random words.

How it works (for now)

• Add Slash Command Integration to your team on slack
• Use /slackword as the slash command
• Use http://larikraun.me/slack-random-word/index.php as the url
• Set method to GET
• Save the settings
• You can now use the slash command from your slack team. (See the list of commands below)

How to use

• Star the repo :P
• Clone the repo
• Get an API KEY from [Word API] (https://www.wordsapi.com/)
• Put the key into your .env file
• Integrate slackword into your slack team

Tasks
