How do you only pay $80 for Slack a year? Their base price is $6.67 / user / month on an annual plan, so $80 gets you 1 user on Slack. Huh?

I'm a solo dev. :) I use Slack as a notification center for all of my services.

If that's all you're using it for, you'd be better of with Hipchat, which serves as a functional notification channel and from what I recall is free for <10 users. I guess Slack would be worthwhile if you're using it for multiple projects, though.
How your setup works then? Sounds like something that could improve performance of single dev.

I definitely plan to write about it on the journal (http://cushionapp.com/journal). I have channels for new users, Stripe charges/subscriptions, errors from Sentry, build notifications, and support notifications. I plan to also build some Slack bots that would help automate a few things.
Sweet, I am looking forward to it.
Good job with the project!
Please do. I look forward to reading about the channels.
