Get a joke, squash some bugs! Bugbot is a chatbot that tells jokes and generates fake bugs. Have fun!

Bugbot pulls from JokeAPI to reply to any message with a programming-related joke. The catch? Every time the user hits 'send,' bugs appear on the screen! (Thankfully, these bugs can be easily squashed, with the 'squash bugs' button.) This app was built to amuse myself while honing my skills with jquery and REST API integration. I hope it gives you a smile!
Bugbot is a learning project, so I doubt I'll ever be done with it! My next steps for it are to improve the styling of the 'squash bugs' button, to build out the backend database functionality, and to add tests using Jest.
