Featured as 'New & Noteworthy' on Slack
I was excited to see Ricotta - https://ricotta.team/ - featured as a 'New & Noteworthy' app on Slack.
Ricotta is an OKRs (objectives and key results) tracking app, which would help improve engagement and alignment among remote teams on Slack.
Not sure if getting featured is a big deal, but I'm happy as we're getting a lot of sign ups at the moment. 🚀
What a win, congrats on that -- celebrate it!
Congrats! Your features and "What is OKR" link is not leading to anywhere right now (still the # anchor tag). Fix it up while the sign ups are hot! :-)
Oops, it's supposed to scroll down and it's working for me. But thanks for pointing it out - I'll look into it!
Congrats! Hope to meet you there soon :)
Thanks, @sergeyone. All the best for your Slack app too!
Absolutely amazing achievement @adityasg13! Keep up the hard work!
Thanks, @harshvijay!
Did you do anything special to get featured?
No, I did not. I don't know Slack's criteria for featuring.
But I'm guessing that if your app is new, you have a good app store listing and they think you are solving some problem, they might feature you.
Does anyone here know Slack's criteria for featuring apps?
Congrats @adityasg13! While I don't know the exact criteria, Slack does talk about Featuring as part of their slack guidelines. it's the last paragraph on this page https://api.slack.com/start/distributing/guidelines#featuring
and here it is copy pasted
"We regularly feature apps in the App Directory that we believe will meet customer needs. As part of our review process, we look for high quality apps, taking into account the way an app uses Slack API features, the value the app provides customers during their workday, and the overall quality of experience.
Do you think your app would be a great fit for us to feature? We'd love to hear from you! Send us an email at feedback@slack.com and tell us more about the value your app is providing, any recent updates or improvements you've made, or feedback you're hearing from customers. Feel free to include links to blog posts or any marketing you're using to share your app with customers."
@adityasg13, a few questions if you don't mind. We just launched inkrement.io so I was wondering
Thanks for sharing this @Mirv!
So we got listed on the Slack app directory on 24th October and in the last few days, we've been getting 2-3 installs every day.
Cool , thanks! Good luck with your conversion tactics for these trials :)!
Thanks, Mirv!
