Sorry for stealing part of the conversation, I released a new app just 2 weeks ago, would love to hear feedback if it solves a problem to anyone. App is in Slack marketplace review, but is usable and can be integrated. Also app is free for now. https://slack.com/apps/A04KSRC0606-work
Two paragraphs, no elevator pitch. Hope your app provides better UX.
Ask HN: Does your team pay for any Slack apps or integrations?

Re: Ask HN: Does your team pay for any Slack apps or integrations?
#22No. I see more and more dependencies against Slack (e.g., platform tools to create Jira issues, or request permissions, etc.) I think it's a dangerous path: Slack will die (sooner rather than later I believe) and suddenly we'll face a bunch of workflows that do not work anymore. My team is slowly leaving Slack. We are transitioning to Mattermost. So far so good.
Why do you think Slack will die soon?

#23My guess is that if you could pay for Slack Apps as part of a Slack bill, then the vendors would make a lot more money. Otherwise you get stuck in procurement hell.
If slack apps were like cloud resources and teams could “spin up” what they need it might be different.
