Basically, we need methods to help us maintain our focus and attention while still having an real-time (but non-intrusive) method to communicate important tasks, questions, and details. This app is a great step in the right direction.

When the scheduled message goes through, does that change your slack status to "active"? I wonder if people would think it was weird to see me looking like I was sending messages while offline.

You are not marked as active. So if you're pretending to be working while you're not, you may get caught. ;) Or it might be scary for people receiving ghost messages...
Great point, we'll have to look into changing this!

Maybe it’s for the best, I suppose that if I looked like I was online when I wasn't, then someone might be annoyed that I wasn’t responding to them!
