Regular API calls to refresh team access token for data retrieval.Frequent calls to Google Analytics to retrieve analytic data for each article tracked.Multiple real-time connections to communicate with teams via Slack.We took this opportunity to investigate some new server-side technologies. While the Amaphiko project used some new front-end technologies, our Slackbot POST would primarily be a back-end application with very little for the end-user to see. For example, over two years ago we were early adopters of Facebook’s React.js framework when we built Red Bull’s Amaphiko project (read about it here), and now it’s one of the most popular front-end frameworks on the web. Here at Edenspiekermann we always try to keep ahead of the curve, staying up to date with the newest technologies and using them when it makes sense.
Always experimenting, always learningĬhoosing the right tool for the job is one of the most important parts of web development, but when the set of tools is constantly changing this can be difficult. As this was an in-house project, we used it as a learning opportunity to investigate some new technologies.
Recently, as part of the Google’s DNI project, we built POST, a Slackbot to help journalists track article performance (and you can read our launch post here).
