I created a Python framework for fast Slack bot development

In plain words

Tangerine is a Python framework that simplifies building Slack bots using a decorator-based API inspired by Flask. It provides developers with an easy-to-use wrapper around the Python-Slack library, allowing them to create bot functionality with minimal boilerplate code. The framework is designed for Python developers who want to quickly develop and deploy Slack applications without managing complex API interactions directly.

  A framework for building Slack bots in Python2022 · github.com · ▲114

  I started building a couple of years ago because I found no easy existing solution to build Slack bots that can be composed from/organized into plugins. Existing libraries like Bolt make it pretty easy to develop Slack bots, but hard to organize and scale the code base of your bot. I was also missing some crucial features such as scheduling actions for your bot. So I wrote my own framework! I recently rewrote the complete framework to make use of asyncio and the newest Slack SDK Let me know what you think!

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
