Howdy Hunters, Thank you @kevin for hunting Paco! We love Slack - how lively and interactive it makes our virtual workplaces. But sometimes it becomes too much of a good thing. The constant chatter can interrupt our ability to do focused work. For some of us makers, it causes constant anxiety that something important might slip through the cracks. We created Paco to bring some calm focus back into our lovely Slack lives. We have been building Paco with a group of amazing early adopters over the past couple of months, and are now ready to share it with you all. Here is how it works: 🐶 Single-Player Mode Hit 'Add to Paco' from the actions menu for any message that you want to track. Paco will consolidate it into a single queue that you can process anytime you want. It will also send you a daily reminder about it at a time of your choosing. 🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏼 Team Mode Add Paco to any team channel and watch it automatically detect messages that may need to be followed upon. Or you can mention @paco in any message and it will create a thread to follow up on it. ✅ Paco Queue Paco queue gives you peace of mind that you won't miss anything important. You can access the queue anytime within Slack using the /paco-track command, get a daily reminder, or access it on the web app. We want Paco to become that trusty sidekick that makes you more effective, giving you more time to do epic things. It is learning new tricks fast. e.g. Coming soon -- a deep work mode where it saves you from all the 'quick questions', a dedicated queue for pull reminders and pending Jira tickers, and more. Give it a try and let us know what you think! p.s. We learnt today that we are featured as a 'New & Noteworthy' app by the Slack App Directory team. The timing couldn't be better.

@kevin @paco @arraysum Great product! Helps me get stuff out of my head and into a system that works. Having that system in slack is life-changing (hate having to set these reminders in Asana or my calendar). Congrats 🚀

@kevin @paco @arraysum @eugenehp that would be such a great feature. I do get the same queries lot of time. Can this work even when i’m offline ? Always great to have a proxy :)

It is great to see a product that actually focuses on improving engineering productivity rather than just show some stats. This can be a really powerful tool for our teams @ LinkedIn. Especially love that developers can start using it on day 1 rather than waiting for a long drawn corporate approval process. Would love to know more about how you guys think about ensuring data privacy as Paco scales and becomes viral?

@hawk_eye That's a great point - we use Google's Cloud Platform for our servers and databases. So all data is encrypted at rest and in motion. We take privacy very seriously, so we have access controls with limited admin access. Every message flowing through Paco is encrypted and Paco only tracks the messages where it's marked. In terms of security, we are working on getting third party tests and certifications to ensure peace of mind for our valued customers.

Finally! An auto reminder software for Slack. This is super helpful and I can really see how this must save a lot of time and anxiety! Is there also a possibility to send auto reminders to the people tagged or is it only added to a queue?

@petar-petrovic Thank you Petar! Paco sends reminders to all those who are tagged -- this works only in a channel though. Try it out!

I've been using Paco for a few weeks now and it quickly became a part of my daily routine. I easily get 10-20 tasks/requests a day through Slack messages and before Paco I always had the anxiety that I'd read a message and then forget about it. Now I read messages as they come in and if they need further action I just "Add to Paco...". Once per day I set aside about an hour to go through the Paco web UI and deal with the tasks that have accumulated. Paco has already been very useful as a Slack "in tray" for me but there's also potential for many more great features to be added and I look forward to those.

@vikasgorur Vikas your feedback has shaped the product so significantly. We should have something like a honorary 'co-founding customer' title for you.

This looks really interesting! Do you have anyone using this for customer support? We have some shared slack channels with customers for our B2B SaaS product. Making sure something that needs a reply doesn't get lost there is obviously really important. In going through the website and product demo video, the one challenge there might be there is a team of people that do customer support. Is there a way for Paco to show that some Slack member owns or is working the task that Paco is tracking?

@alejandro_cantarero1 Need to think it through. We have the notion of who added the message and who all are mentioned. Who owns the ask is another potential user type to consider. Would you like to talk live? Drop a line at team@pacohq.com or book a quick meeting here: https://calendly.com/pacohq

Reading "calm" & "Slack" in the same sentence drew me in. Watched the demo and this looks really promising. Wonder if there are plans to integrate other task trackers like Asana or Trello in the future?

@gabe__perez Thanks Gabe! Feels great when people resonate with what went on behind the scenes to get to this point. Yes -- we will go all in on integrations. Have Jira and Github coming in, and then will get to the others. Give it a try!
