Nice tool. Is it possible to do async standups (=having people submitting their standup in parallel) ? What we do @pastbook we have a #standup channel where every morning a IFTTT bot posts a message to call the standup and we all answer the 3 magic questions there, without having to wait for each other: it saves a lot of time and works like a charm. What I see interesting is the possibility to have a recap by mail then, but not sure I'd spend $20/month. Curious to see how other people here use Slack for standup meeting.

@stefanocutello IFTTT FTW. I'm going to look into that next week. Is it custom or did you follow a recipe?

@ryanmac Custom. Trigger is time. Action is Slack post. Simple ;)

@stefanocutello Thanks. Ended up installing Howdy (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...) to see how this works for our team.

@ryanmac I checked Howdy, looks cool! I'm wondering if it's really free... / what's the business model behind it (cc @benbrown ?)

@stefanocutello @pastbook for async I recommend to check out geekbot.io It's been out there for months and I consider it solid. (Disclaimer: I used to work there)

I was hoping for a bot that'd tell jokes on our Slack channels. But this is cool too! :D

For me adding the credit card just to start the trial was a deal breaker

@cgrusden because it means that I have to remember to opt-out or I will pay for it for a random amount of months ;)

Why Standup Bot? Messaging tools like Slack changed our work world. Standup changed our meetings. Standup Bot keeps us accountable, tracks our goals, and got us to post our successes, plans, and upcoming challenges. (ref. http://standupbot.com/)

Cool idea!

@cgrusden not 100% but a lot of our internal communication is on Slack

I think this looks amazing however its the kind of tool that requires a full team buy in to use and I know from trying to implement other similar things that is very unlikely

Could be a game changer for virtual teams nicely done!

I've used the open source version you guys put out a few months ago. Found it a bit buggy but love the concept so went to Tatsu instead. Nice to see you bring out a 'proper' version. How did you settle on the pricing? And how many people can I have in one team?

How do I stop my subscription ? I have been charged for 2 months now without using it! Kindly let me know
