-An opinionated boilerplate and demo for a complete Slack bot service with Slack button integration, in Ruby. If you are not familiar with Slack bots or Slack API concepts, you might want to watch [this video](http://code.dblock.org/2016/03/11/your-first-slack-bot-service-video.html). A good demo of a service built on top of this is [playplay.io](http://playplay.io).
