Building a slack app community inside indiehackers

Hi everyone,

If you are building slack apps, consider joining this community so we can talk shop.

    Hey @Mirv - great idea! I have been looking at creating a Slack app for a project I have been working on.

    Is there a good Intro to Slack apps resource that you would recommend? Perhaps you can share a link as the first post in the new group.

      Great suggestion @ryanh1! Yeah definitely I can share more. I will also pull in my cofounder @saifabid who has been more involved in building the app once the group launches.

    There's a Slack group here - https://www.indiehackers.com/group/slack

    I don't think there is enough differentiation to have two?

      Ah I didn’t see the original post. Clearly I don’t know how to search. @rosiesherry

      I was thinking of cancelling my request to create the group but 9 people have joined now. Should we give it a try to see if gains traction.

      The other slack group seems quite generic but I am happy with whatever you recommend .

        The hardest thing is to keep groups growing and having regular discussions. We're trying to avoid duplicate groups.

        A better option would maybe for me to see if I can add you in as a moderator to the other Slack group?

        1. 1

          Okay, we can try that. I am worried about the 11 people that have joined this group already. Do you recommend me to post something in the group and ask them to join the other group ?

          1. 1

            You can always tag them in a conversation you start.

            If you join the other group I can add you as a moderator.

            1. 1

              Done. I joined the group, and will try reviving the group with discussion around slack apps.

              1. 1

                Hmm, it doesn't look like you have?

                1. 1

                  Hmm.. I thought I had joined the group. Okay joined again.

                  1. 1

                    @rosiesherry I thought you had made me moderator of the other Slack group but.. it seems I am not? IF you don't mind making me moderator again I would really appreciate it. I want to get notified when people post in that group and hoping being moderator will allow for that.

                    1. 1

                      Yeah, thought I had too. Should be ok too.

    I'm still waiting for an IH Slack community. Or is there one that I'm not aware of? :(

    1. 1

      Oh lol. No This isn’t a slack community for indie hackers. Although that’s a good idea and I support it !

      Trying to create a group on indie hackers for folks who are building slack apps or bots
