This is a cool little bot, but I'm not sure if it is priced appropriately.

$10/mo is too low. Makes it feel cheap. I'd recommend if you want to keep that same price to go for an annual membership.

But a better price would be in the $29/mo range. Still affordable by team, and you would actually get paid for your work.

I just saw this in the logs. Not sure what happened. If you have info about the path you took (was it during auth with slack or..?) that'd be super helpful.

Interesting. You're not the first person to say it's priced too cheap, actually. I'll reconsider the pricing. Thanks for the feedback!

I clicked on Add To Slack, chose the channel I want to add it to, click on Allow, and the error comes up. I haven't been able to get past that part. But I'm pretty sure I know why... I'm not an administrator. Just wanted to add this as I work with people in different time zones. I'll ask the admin to add it ;)

Thanks! That confirms what I saw in the logs. I've added a warning message to catch that error and mention admin access is required. Thanks for catching that.
