Looking For Feedback On My Communication Aggregator Tool
Yo Indie Hackers. Looking for a bit of idea validation on a productivity tool i'm building.
The Problem
Most companies use a large number of communication tools. Think Slack, Figma, Miro, Jira, Github. The list is endless. It's really annoying to be signed into all these tools and remember to check them to see if theres anything important or interesting has happened. Some people just seem to have a handle on everything going on across a team/department but most people struggle with this.
Solution
A real time filterable feed that combines all the important events in all the tools used across your company. Got a demo working. Check out the animation in the Tweet below.
Couple of questions for you
- Is there anything out there like this?
- If this was working nicely, would you use it?
- What features would you need?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Hey James,
looks neat. Must have been a ton of work to get all those integrations working.
To answer your questions:
Good luck, James 👋
Yes, Slack. I hadn't thought about slack (despite using it all day).
I feel Slack is an attempt to do this but you misses out on filtering and other specific features that would make this productive.
Filtering will be the killer feature I think. I like the idea of saving filters, that would be super helpful thanks.
With regards to integrationd with external services, I have a nice generic webhook consumer so all I have to write is the incoming JSON parser to add a new service. Im thinking of even oping up that extensibility to 3rd party devs so if MegaFeed didn't support a service (e.g. your new CI tool) then you could write it yourself easily.
That sounds very interesting and could be great for enterprises who wish to connect with their in-house software.
