502 bad gateway. It's dead, Jim.

Same thing happening here.

Can someone who had a chance to visit it explain to me what this is? If I understood the rest of the comments correctly, it's a list of Slack bots?

May want to throw CloudFlare in front. (Disclaimer: I work there.)

Hey! I'm one of the makers here Appreciate any thoughts anyone else. WE are all ears :) Mobile responsive isnt in place yet so apologies for that. Trying to get bots/AI from different platforms in one central, 3rd party place - not owned by Facebook/Slack/Kik etc. We are looking to update more information - probably giving the bot makers the ability to take control of their page, add more info and images so hopefully…

Apologies for the brief comment since I only had a moment to glance at it between work, but what stood out to me is that there is no XMPP section for "platform". (I ask selfishly due to writing XMPP based bots for various video games that host their chat over the protocol.)

Otherwise, decent idea, will likely use it to point at my bots github pages if it sticks around :)

I think we're going to need a bot to tell us when something that shows on HN is back online :-)

My first foremost suggestion: try not to ask for password as a new site. I am not saying I'd only trust the big players (they were once a startup or a little project to begin with), but I would enjoy more if I can reuse Google/Twitter/FB or whatever as an option.

Next, any plan for validating bot's security and privacy? Rules for submission (must be open source etc?) Fake feedback is always a tough war in real monetize app store.
