Like seemingly many people, I recently started experimenting with hosting a Mastodon instance (mastodon.hockey, in this particular case).

I’m trying to get myself to better recognize work I’ve completed, so I wrote a process to look at my Trello board and send a Slack message to myself. This is why and how.
