Hi all! I had an idea: what if you could look up domain name availability without ever leaving Slack? And you could even query whois info or get links to buy the domains too. So I set out to build something with Slack's new message buttons and it actually works quite nicely. I also went ahead and built it on Facebook Messenger too. And then I added support for looking up username availability on the big 5 social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Pinterest).
Give it a try and let me know what you think! And before anyone asks, I built this with Claudia Bot Builder https://github.com/claudiajs/cla... :)
@terkelg I built a few bots in plain Node.js on Heroku and did one with the Serverless framework (also runs on AWS Lambda like Claudia). Lambda seems really cheap (even compared to Heroku) and more stable and I thought Claudia looked interesting (it promised to be easier to set up and definitely was much much easier than Serverless) so I decided to try it out. For something that just transforms input and returns a response it's good... if I was going to make something that stored context and added other features I would probably not use Lambda at all. Also my wife's name is Claudia so I think there was some subconscious bias in my decision :)
