Self Promotion LINE Bot

A simple self promotion LINE bot that helps you promote yourself. Simply create data.json under data/ following the example.json, and see data/README.md for more.

Features

Data is decoupled from code/control flow, thus making both easier to maintain
Supports chat history feature, so if you created a back button on any flex message (or simply just typed back in the chat), we can retrieve previously sent message
If the text entered by the user does not correspond to any key in data/data.json, the home card will be returned
