Nuzzel for Slack? Love the idea!
Matthieu Varagnat
Talk about a pain point! Looking forward to try it out
Matt Schlicht
@mvaragnat Yes! I can't wait to hear what you think of it.
Geoffrey Woo
@mattprd truly lives on Slack. Impressed with his pace of building.
Matt Schlicht
@geoffreywoo You live on Slack too! ๐Ÿ™Œ If anyone is interested in fasting, you should check out Geoffrey's Slack chat right now. They talk about Intermittent Fasting every day + they do meetups: https://www.hamsterpad.com/chat/...

This is one of Matt and Adam's more brilliant ideas. This is an easy way to keep track of your Slacks if you join more than one, both for fun and for business. HP is looking more and more like the missing social layer for Slack and all chats.

Looks really promising, setting it up now!

Good stuff @mattprd! I'm sharing this with the Learn Slack community.
Matt Schlicht

Most communities I'm in don't allow access to an app like Hamsterpad :| Won't be useful until I have them there

I use Slack every day, and I donโ€™t just use it for work. Iโ€™m in 10+ Slack chats that I use to hang out with friends, to network with entrepreneurs, to talk about coffee, to discuss social media tactics, and even to share new music. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐ŸŽถ โ˜• ๐Ÿน ๐Ÿ™Œ Slack has become the #1 place I socialize, and Iโ€™m not alone. Over 2.3 million people around the world are chatting on Slack every single day. But, thereโ€™s a problem. It has been incredibly difficult to keep up with so many Slack chats. If you are in multiple Slack chats you will understand exactly what Iโ€™m talking about. To solve this problem we have created the Slack News Feed. It allows you to quickly catch up on all your Slack chats by showing you the top posts from every channel you are in. We think itโ€™s pretty awesome. We canโ€™t wait for you to check out the Slack News Feed. Let us know what you think. โ€ข Screen shot of what the feed looks like: https://ph-files.imgix.net/84817... โ€ข Want to get in touch?

@mattprd Fantastic idea, for the longest time, I've missed out on many discussions due to the massive amounts of chatter going on. Happy to see that this will help me keep up to date and informed.
Ben Tossell
@mattprd cant wait for this to become more comprehensive with being able to take actions directly from here :) awesome work Do you think Slack will bring out a similar function soon?
Elia Morling
@mattprd I agree, there is a problem. So SMART to spot and tackle it. Well done!
Abinash Mohanty
@mattprd @hamsterpad It's nice first of all. By the way how one can integrate with slack in order to view all news feeds within slack than another dedicated page?
Jonathan Baillie Strong
aaaaah, love this!!!! Amazing work :D ๐Ÿ‘Š Especially the functionality for sending email newsletters to all your members for free - that's frikkin awesome!! would like to know @mattprd how do you plan to monetize or financially sustain the slack-ecosystem you're building?
Gabriel Reynard
Wow, that's a great tool! I use Slack for work and fun, and sometimes is very hard to check all the posts. I'll be using this, thanks :)
Matt Schlicht
@gabrielreynard awesome! Feel free to email me with any ideas at matt@hamsterpad.com OR join our Slack chat here: https://www.hamsterpad.com/chat/...
Rob Williger
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This is what I have needed as I am sure many others have as well. I am hesitant to join Slack groups as it is hard enough to keep up with them. Groups I was active in on Facebook when they move to Slack it cuts back tremendously. This will help me keep up. Awesome.
Wilhelm Klopp
Really, really cool. Exactly what the slack world needs :)
Jonathan Morris
Love it - a metaslack of slacks
Mithun Madhusudan
Hey Matt, how do you identify top posts from a channel?
Matty Mariansky
Yes, that's interesting. Some sort of language processing?
