Are You Sick of Acronyms?

Acronyms are the most significant friction while communicating at work. It could take 10s of minutes to clarify acronyms that shouldn't be there in the first place.

To solve this, I created Glossary—bot for Slack that explains the acronyms for your messages so your colleagues don't wait up on you and quickly proceed.

Glossary explains the keywords under 100ms and saves you minutes of extra messaging while keeping everything secret.

You can use Glossary for free today! Install using https://useglossary.com.

I wouldn't say I'm sick of them, since in computer-world we deal with acronyms a LOT. I mean who even says Uniform Resource Locator in everyday parlance?
