I couldn't get anyone to use it, so I think you're fighting an uphill battle. Good luck, though,

#15Is this supposed to be "Hubot, but usable without hiring a developer?" There are lots of non-software companies that could benefit from chat-ops-like automation.

#16I love this kind of service, but extensibility is probably the most important feature and unless I'm wrong, your platform is not open (yet). We developers all use different services.
Hubot is extremely simple (based on regular expressions to match commands) and quite successful because it's so easy to write and use your own module [1]. Hubot being free and open source, what is your differentiation plan? I'm sure there is room for different players.

#17Looks nice, though it's unclear what the intentions are. Is this to become open source? Or are you going to start charging for it? Also, any chance of adding support for the Kandan chat app? http://kandanapp.com/
We don't have any plans of open sourcing it at the moment. We want it to be a service and it is free. Yup we are starting with slack and we have plans to integrate Chat apps which has the API option open :)
How about integrating with a protocol instead of adding value to someone else's product?
Have we not learned our lessons from how Twitter treated developers?
Enjoy getting shut off when Slack decide they don't want customers to be adding functionality without paying their per integration rate, or want to stop getting the support tickets from people using your service and confusing it with Slack itself.

Yeah with good interface when you make mistakes and very simple to add data.

#19I don't really see the appeal of this because it looks like it's only good for one-liners. I'd rather have a complete interface that allows me to write a huge description, provide screenshots, link to other bug #s or githud commits, etc. It's a solution looking for a problem in my opinion because I would be pissed if all of a sudden all my issues, tasks and bug were one-line description. Please correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I get from the first impression of looking at your app.

We are just getting started but we have plans to build an interactive input methods where you can add more details to your apps. We do have plans getting there. We are initially mobile focussed.
