Hi all! I'm Yousef and creator of SlackScreen. Thanks @milann for hunting! I built it as a cooler visualization for Slack more suitable for large screens / projectors. Mainly so you can show a specific channel (e.g. announcements) or an interesting public slack on office displays, but as @milann pointed out I think it would also be great for events. I'm very excited about how Slack evolves as a platform. This was my first swing at their API and it was quite a breeze to integrate (your browser connects directly to Slack via websockets so messages don't need to pass our servers). Since Slack is being used in so many different ways I really look forward to hearing your ideas for SlackScreen - just give it a try! I'd love to hear your feedback and will be right here to answer any questions,

@milann @yousefed Hi there, is this still supported? I'm a little concerned the website isn't https, but you are claiming the info is secure

Great product, however I'm running into a couple issues. First, I added the integration on one computer and then when I tried to open it on another it kept telling me I had to add @slackscreen to the channel (it was already in the channel from the other computer). So then I tried removing the integration, and now whenever I try to go to slackscreen.com it shows this error: {"timestamp":1460168784220,"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","exception":"flowctrl.integration.slack.exception.SlackResponseErrorException","message":"invalid_auth. check the link https://api.slack.com/methods/ch...","path":"/"} Or one that says something about account not active. Hope this helps you crush some bugs! :)

@ninjinka Should be fixed now when you sign in again. Note that if you've added @slackscreen to the channel you'll need someone chatting before the messages show up. If you're still having issues please hit me up at myfirstname _at_ tweetbeam.com

This is pretty neat and cool, made by Amsterdam / Startup Delta colleague @YousefED. I can imagine this for conferences, public beta slack channels or communities of people (on and offline) to be presented on a big screen somewhere. Here's an example of Slack at a conference: http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/1...

Fantastic. We have a TV up in our lobby and I've been looking for something else to display on it - this looks like the ticket.

This is fantastic. I've been looking for ways to use Slack within an accelerator cohort, and being able to display an announcements or 'asks' channel to a screen in the office is a very attractive value prop. Cheers!
