Launched an update. Not really an MVP anymore.

Smithy's update was approved by the Slack review team and went live this morning. We rolled out:

• Support for private channels. We launched with public channels only.
• Resolution messages when closing threads. We believe this is huge.
• Auto-closing stale threads.
• Granular, optional permissions. We received feedback that one of the app scopes that Smithy used was causing concerns with the user's security team.

There were a few challenges before reaching this milestone.

1. Granular channel permissions on a Slack app are not trivial to get right if you want a good user experience.
2. We needed to adjust our privacy policy. The adjustment was minor, but this came up in the review, which resulted in a resubmission and a further delay.
3. Supporting private channels and closing messages on threads required reworking some of our tables and code significantly.

Next steps: getting serious about marketing and implementing subscriptions.
