slacktv

slacktv is a Slack bot designed to run on a Mac plugged into a digital signage TV. When mentioned in a message with a URL, that URL is opened.

Usage

• Create a Slack bot integration user at https://99designs.slack.com/services/new/bot
• Invite the bot to the desired channel.
• Run SLACK_TOKEN=... slacktv.
• Mention the bot's username along with a URL.

export SLACK_TOKEN="slack-bot-auth-token-here"
slacktv

Development

slacktv is written in Go, uses godep to manage dependencies, and gorilla/websocket for Slack's Real Time Messaging API.

The slack subpackage is the beginnings of a generic Slack API/RTM client.

export SLACK_TOKEN=...

godep restore
go test ./...
go build ./cmd/slacktv
DEBUG=1 ./slacktv  # verbose logging to stdout

# restart on every source file change
go get github.com/skelterjohn/rerun
DEBUG=1 GOPATH=`godep path`:$GOPATH rerun github.com/99designs/slacktv/cmd/slacktv
