I'm in agreement with everyone. It's an awesome idea! @luchomolina I was really excited as I thought for a second it would let me curate messages in Slack and create a newsletter which I could send to my team internally as sort of a weekly digest. Does anyone know if something like that exists?

@luchomolina @katoree I've built this with https://getlowdown.com. The landing page is community focused but it works for Slack teams too :) Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat about it. steve@getlowdown.com

This is a good, simple hack. It would be cool that the entries not only included the links but the messages they were sent with. I think that will give it the newspaper more context and would be more fun to read as an outsider.

@wdeb @luchomolina insanely useful...we've been trying to find a solution for this because as a team we always share articles. it's too much to read and we all generally pocket so many articles and were trying to find a way we can produce a digest. this might be it. thanks!

Love the idea and product. I like it when there's almost no interface necessary because a product fits so seamless in an existing workflow. Question: Are you going to add a subscription feature? So that people can receive a weekly digest of all the articles from slack (both intern and extern).

@samuelbeek It's a cool idea, but not sure if we will add that feature. First we need to build this Slack integration into Gibbon :-). There are already so many weekly newsletter tools that I don't know if people would like/need something like that from us too.

Hey guys. It's nice! But in case of the large community (e.g. ~1500 people) it's not very nice to share these The Slack Post BOT messages to everybody. Is it possible to make an optional feature: make posts automatically OR approve it on your side (not in Slack) OR make it visible only for the owner/admins OR to make voting via emoji reactions (if Slack has an API for that)? Cheers :)

Great product that ended up dying after acquired. A good alternative is The Paperbot (www.paperbot.ai)

I really like how The Slack Post helps you make a newsletter without (and this is important) requiring me to change behavior. Most people are already sharing links to interesting articles amongst team members on Slack. Would be really cool if you can create a newsletter which people can subscribe to. Makers, you should check out http://www.producthunt.com/tech/..., they made it very easy to send out a newsletter. I'm sure @mdekuijper is down for a cool partnership. 🙌

Also, the bot shows up every link every time. Even email addresses. Hope this can be improved upon since its kinda irritating at the moment :)

@dereckbreuning Yes we are looking into ways to improve that. If you have any suggestions, please share them with us :-) The channels are hidden at the top if you only have 1 channel connected.
