#slackdevtips: If you are using JavaScript, Python, or Java, use #Slack's Bolt frameworks: https://t.co/7nYX26hQ9n. If you are using PHP, use the slack-php framework: https://t.co/m8VmT3Mv3o. Also, check out other community projects: https://t.co/eb1sG49TpD

#slackdevtips: You can deep link from one area in #slack to another using the `slack://` protocol. Combine that with mrkdwn and #blockkit and you easily send messages to invite users to your App Home page. https://t.co/vTAqpP7Ytu

#slackdevtips: When creating application flows using Modals, the "private_metadata" field can allow you to preserve state throughout the flow, even with a stateless backend. It works in App Home surfaces as well (I just learned this today, actually).

#slackdevtips: When designing a #Slack app, remember all the surfaces (modals, messages, the app home, workflows) and interaction patterns (commands, shortcuts, button clicks, form inputs, events, etc.) you have available. Not everything has to be a chatbot.

#slackdevtips: You can test your #Slack app before deploying by running it locally and using something like ngrok (https://t.co/C7jcgsy9y3) or expose (https://t.co/Z5HrZY07hl) to provide a URL to your localhost in your app configuration.

#slackdevtips: If parsing requests from Slack without Bolt (or other library), there are payload format differences between slash commands (x-www-form-urlencoded), actions/shortcuts (x-www-form-urlencoded, with data json-encoded in the "payload" field), and events (json). #slack

#slackdevtips: Even though you have to ack within 3 seconds, it doesn't mean you can't do other things first. In fact, in environments that don't support async (e.g., AWS Lambda, PHP), you HAVE to post messages, open modals, etc., before you ack back to #slack.
